About

Provided by Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch LLP

Native American tribal governments hold a unique legal status in the United States, including principles of tribal sovereignty, immunity, and self-governance. Our Native American Law attorneys understand the uniqueness of each tribal populations and culture, and we match our services to meet your tribal needs. We represent tribal governments, tribal corporations, inter-tribal organizations and tribal-affiliated clients in a wide range of legal matters and protect tribal interests in state, federal and tribal courts.

Procopio’s Native American Law attorneys are keenly aware that managing litigation for tribal governments and businesses is quite distinct from representing standard corporate clients. This is particularly true where a tribal government has a well-developed legal infrastructure that helps drive, regulate and coordinate its business activities. The complexity increases when dealing with non-tribal business partners and contractors. Our experienced trial and appellate litigation attorneys have represented clients in numerous tribal, state and federal courts, including in a landmark victory before the U.S. Supreme Court.
