Protecting Tribal resources and supporting Alaska Native Corporations
Led by one of the country’s most experienced practitioners of environmental Native American law, our Indian Country team is known for its deep understanding of the statutory and regulatory frameworks that impact reservation and Indian trust land. We work with Alaska Native Corporations to maximize economic growth, protect ancestral lands, preserve Alaska Native cultures, and enhance Alaska Native shareholder communities.
Our work with both Tribes and Alaska Native Corporations helps promote economic development, develop and protect tribal resources, develop critical infrastructure, preserve Tribal sovereignty, and enhance Tribal and Alaska Native Corporation governance. We frequently serve as outside general counsel or otherwise advise Tribes, Alaska Native Corporations, and their business enterprises regarding real estate issues, business formation, federal government contracting, commercial transactions, and tax planning. We also advise Tribes and Alaska Native Corporations on government programs such as SBA’s 8(a) Business Development and HUBZone programs and federal funding opportunities such as the American Rescue Plan, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and Tribal broadband grants.
