Overview
American Indian tribes and organizations that do business with them have a strong advocate in Faegre Drinker’s long-standing, nationwide Indian law practice. We have worked on tribal financings totaling more than $15 billion and involving more than 120 tribes in 21 states. We support you in interactions with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC), as well as with other concerns including federal-Indian law issues, sovereign immunity, Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA), land determinations, land into trust, leases, gaming compliance and tribal gaming commission matters, environmental law and regulations, taxation, federal recognition, labor and employment matters, construction matters, energy projects, and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and health law matters.
