American Indian Law

Morgan Lewis has a record of accomplishment in handling American Indian law and working to resolve disputes and facilitate transactions for both Indian and non-Indian clients. Our team assists in matters implicating tribal sovereignty, as well as the economic and governmental interests of native peoples. We handle matters related to land use, gaming, taxation, energy development, financial instruments and indebtedness, civil and criminal jurisdiction and tribal courts, and intergovernmental relations. Each tribe faces different issues, and we have experience working on matters involving tribes on the East Coast, in the Upper Midwest, California, Alaska, and elsewhere.
