Categories:

Description

A tribe or tribal entity typically enters into hundreds of contracts per year.  Negotiating and drafting appropriate dispute resolution provisions in these contracts is an important way that tribes can protect their sovereignty and other interests.  
 
CLE focuses on: 

    • Identifying and addressing waivers (or potential waivers) of sovereign immunity, 
    • Crafting appropriate dispute resolution processes, and 
    • Considering other contractual provisions for preventing and handling disputes. 
 
The discussion will also cover things to keep in mind in drafting indemnification provisions, limitations of liability, governing law provisions, choice-of-forum provisions, and arbitration provisions.

"It is a subject very pertinent to my practice, and the presentation included very specific issues to be sure to address in contracts for tribes."

"Great content. A little rushed. And the on demand feed kept stalling and replaying back despite having good connection on my end, so it was really disruptive to the learning process."

"The presenter is clearly experienced on the tribal side but it would have been interesting to get a more balance position on non-tribal businesses contracting with tribes or tribal entities and how to protect the non-tribal entity with a fair approach to both sides. "
