Career

Charles W. Galbraith is a citizen of the Navajo Nation with almost 20 years of experience helping tribes understand and utilize their unique legal standing and political relationships in the United States. As Co-Chair of the firm’s Native American Law Practice and a partner in the Government Controversies and Public Policy Litigation Practice, Charlie represents tribal clients in complex litigation matters, sensitive internal investigations, and major financial transactions―all with a careful eye on the unique challenges that tribal leaders must consider when trying to obtain the best possible long-term outcomes.

Charlie previously served in the White House for President Barack Obama as Associate Director of Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement. In this role, he managed the Administration’s relationship with all tribal governments and Native American people. Charlie advised the President, cabinet members and Executive Branch agencies on political, legislative, legal, administrative and media issues in what has often been cited as one of the most successful periods for the advancement of Native American affairs. During his White House tenure, he also served as Deputy Associate Counsel for presidential personnel, where he conducted background investigations and vetted individuals under consideration for presidential appointments.

As an Assistant US Attorney for the District of Arizona, Charlie successfully investigated and prosecuted a wide array of federal offenses. As a Legislative Assistant to then-United States Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD), he advised the senator on Indian Affairs, Judiciary and Appropriations matters. These federal government experiences inform Charlie's practice today and make him a sought-after lawyer for tribal governments and businesses and individuals navigating complex and interconnected legal, political, and policy challenges.
