Federal Indian law attorney / lawyer serving clients in Omaha, Nebraska (NE), Iowa (IA), Minnesota (MN) and California (CA)
Law Practice Areas | American Indian Law
As Native American tribal governments strive towards self-sufficiency, their economic growth creates new opportunities for employment and business partnerships with tribal organizations and tribal businesses. The special relationship between Native Americans and the federal government provides certain advantages to Native Americans and tribal entities, including loan guarantees through the Department of Interior’s Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and qualification for 8(a) status with the Small Business Administration (SBA).
However, there are numerous other federal laws governing the relationship between Native Americans and the federal government that make doing business in “Indian country” much more complicated than elsewhere. Tribal sovereign immunity presents a significant hazard in the event a relationship sours. Tribal governments also have sovereign authority over non-Indians under certain circumstances. An experienced Indian law attorney can provide invaluable assistance to those doing business with Native Americans in Indian country.
Thompson Law Office has experience working directly with tribal governments and businesses as both special counsel and general counsel to tribal leaders. This allows our non-Native clients to have an informed perspective as they approach business and employment relationships with American Indian entities. If you plan on working on or near an Indian reservation, you could benefit from the legal advice of an Indian law lawyer with Thompson Law Office.
