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.

Naomi B

"comprehensive discussion of the subject matter"

Timothy S

"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. "

Steven W

"Very useful and comprehensive discussion."

"One of the best and most useful presentation on the subject matter I have attended!"

Francesca S

"The speaker is very knowledgeable"

Sonia O

"Ms. Villagomez was especially useful as she addressed questions negotiating civil jurisdiction and sovereign immunity from within the context of contracts, an approach that is not commonly used to teach or explain these comments. "

Kimberly C

"Very helpful practical information that I can use in my practice. Chloe was a great presenter and made everything very accessible and understandable."

Mark R

"Materials were helpful. Possibly include examples of scenarios, i.e. hypotheticals. "

Robert H

"Mostly good. Some nuances needed to be addressed"
