Zimney Foster has a wide range of experience in the area of Federal Indian Law in the representation of business and tribal governmental entities and businesses. Some of the areas of Federal Indian Law which we practice are:

1. Jurisdiction. We advise clients regarding the scope and extent of state, federal, and tribal jurisdiction to tax, regulate or resolve disputes and in the drafting of agreements to maximize enforceability in light of the federal Indian law doctrines of tribal sovereign immunity and exhaustion of tribal remedies.
    

2. Conflict of Law. Federal Indian Law is complex in that it involves application of complex federal, state and tribal laws. Tribal laws are intended to protect the rights of Native Americans and state and federal laws often apply as well. Our attorneys are experienced in advising clients doing business in Indian Country on matters such as, for example, taxation and tribal sovereignty.
    

3. Business Litigation. We are experienced in providing litigation counsel, and in providing business and employment advice for business entities planning on working on or near an Indian reservation.
