The Engine of Tribal Economics.

Gaming revenue funds healthcare, education, and infrastructure. Protecting that revenue requires sophisticated legal counsel who understands the industry.

Protecting the House

We provide comprehensive legal services to Tribal Gaming Agencies (TGAs) and Casino Enterprises. From drafting regulations to defending tort claims, we ensure your operation remains compliant and profitable.

Tort Claims Defense

We defend the casino against patron injury claims. Our goal is early resolution or dismissal based on sovereign immunity and procedural deficiencies.

Ordinance Drafting

We write the laws that govern the floor. From Tort Claim Ordinances to Gaming Codes, we create frameworks that withstand federal scrutiny.

Compact Compliance

Navigating the Tribal-State Compact is complex. We advise on fee calculations, exclusiveness, and dispute resolution with the State.

For Commissioners & Regulators

The integrity of the game is everything. A strong dedicated Commission is the first line of defense against criminal activity and internal fraud.

We serve as General Counsel to Gaming Commissions, providing advice on licensing, hearings, and enforcement actions without conflict of interest with the enterprise.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is the tribal law that governs how patrons can sue for injuries (like slip and falls) at the casino. A well-drafted ordinance protects the tribe's assets while providing a fair process for legitimate claims.

We represent both, but never in the same matter. We understand the distinct roles: the Enterprise exists to generate revenue, and the Commission exists to protect the integrity of gaming. We help maintain that necessary separation.

The Tribal-State Compact dictates the terms of Class III gaming (slots, table games). Violating the compact can jeopardize the entire operation. We ensure strict adherence to compact requirements.
