Christopher Slottee

I have over 15 years of experience handling complex ‎commercial, corporate, and litigation matters—‎specifically, working with Alaska Native Village and Regional Corporations and their subsidiaries, ‎ANCSA settlement trusts, and tribal ‎governments. Previously, I was vice president and ‎general counsel for an Alaska native village corporation, which ‎gave me an invaluable understanding of their inner ‎workings and the unique challenges they face. I am well-‎versed in issues of corporate governance, legal and risk ‎management, government contracting, bid protests, ‎corporate transactions, and mergers and acquisitions.‎

I provide guidance related to the Small Business ‎Administration’s (SBA) small business programs, including SBA’s ‎Section 8(a) and HUBZone Business Development Programs, and ‎have advised clients regarding 8(a) and small business joint ‎ventures, regulatory compliance with the Federal Acquisition ‎Regulations, requests for equitable adjustment and claims, and ‎provided strategic advice regarding the utilization of the SBA’s small ‎business programs. I also advise Alaska native corporations and ‎tribal entities regarding federal funding opportunities and grant compliance, including CARES Act and American Rescue Plan Act compliance issues.‎

I have extensive experience providing advice regarding creating, managing, and leveraging the unique ‎characteristics of Alaska native corporation settlement trusts.‎
