Legal Services for companies who want do business with Indian gaming facilities

Companies who want to do business with Indian gaming facilities need to understand the law of tribal sovereignty and what impact it will have on the business transaction. In addition, federal Indian law and tribal law will shape the nature of the business agreement between an Indian tribe and a casino management company, gaming equipment vendor or other business interested in developing, financing, equipping, or managing an Indian gaming facility. How, where and when an agreement between such parties is enforceable is a major area of concern to either party, and unless you have sound legal advice in this area, it can often lead to a bad business result for your company.

Our law firm can help reduce this business risk by:

1. Providing counsel on the history, legal structure, and leaders of the tribe.
2. Negotiating and drafting development, consulting, financing, equipment lease and management contracts that will protect your investment in the Indian gaming operation.
3. Assisting with the procurement of financing for large-scale casino operations.
4. Explaining the rules that determine where and when disputes will be heard and contracts enforced.
5. Counseling you in connection with the regulatory compliance required in connection with doing business with Indian gaming facilities.

Legal Services for Indian tribes interested in developing and operating gaming facilities.

Indian tribes wanting to develop or expand their tribal gaming operations need a legal team which understands the primary reason for the tribal enterprise: to increase tribal revenues and provide employment for and improve the social, economic, education and health needs of tribal members. You also need legal advisors who will provide good business judgment and are well versed in Indian gaming law, trust land issues, business transactions, and regulatory compliance.

In meeting this need, our law firm can provide you with the following services:

1. Counseling related to the NIGC approval process and BIA fee-to-trust land transfers.
2. Environmental review of proposed gaming projects.
3. Negotiating and advising in connection with tribal-state gaming compacts.
4. Assisting tribal gaming commissions with NIGC and state gaming regulatory compliance.
5. Serving as legal counsel to tribal gaming commissions.
6. Providing legislative and administrative government relations assistance.
