The firm has been engaged in the representation of federally recognized tribes, tribal organizations and Indian people in this area of practice for over 25 years. Whether it is an issue involving tribal programs i.e. health or housing, or such commercial interests as smoke-shops, fuel stops, or gaming, Pitchlynn & Williams, PLLC is experienced and prepared to offer up-to-date advice and representation which will best serve the interests of our clients.

In addition to assisting tribes and tribal organizations in how to best make their cases to members of Congress and federal agencies, our expertise in the area has been used by many non-Indian business and corporate interests wanting to conduct business in Indian country, but lacked the experience and knowledge to make comfortable decisions in a business environment generally controlled by tribal and federal law and regulations. Also, we are often called upon by non-Indian business organizations to represent their interests in litigation in tribal and federal courts.

The attorneys at Pitchlynn & Williams, PLLC who practice in this area have experience in general business law, employment law, gaming, tribal taxation, tribal economic development and jurisdictional disputes as it pertains to the laws governing tribal authority in various tribal courts, federal courts, Court of Indian Offenses and before the U.S. Department of the Interior Office of Hearings and Appeals.
