We know that many California Indian Tribes do not have the resources to hire lobbyists and representatives to gather legislative information.  But each year the State legislature drafts new laws that could have far reaching effects on California Tribes. 

Our updates are provided to firm clients and focus on State legislative matters, as well as federal laws that may have an impact on California Tribes. 

State and federal courts are also rendering opinions that have wide-ranging impacts on California Tribes and their businesses. 

We provide a quarterly litigation update to our firm clients that explains the impact the decisions might have on their governmental operations.
