Sam Daughety Email & Phone Number

I am a lawyer with a practice concentrated on Native American law and policy. I have substantial experience advising clients on complex Indian lands and Indian gaming issues, including tribal-state compacts and related agreements, the fee-to-trust process, leasing, regulatory compliance, and tribal governmental and administrative matters. My practice also involves working with tribes on water rights and water settlement issues, and advising tribes and prospective investors on multi-million dollar economic development projects in Indian country, including all aspects of tribal governmental and entity sovereign immunity, tribal law and authority, jurisdiction, and dispute resolution. I regularly assist tribes in developing viable strategic solutions in the face of legislative and regulatory challenges. I have represented tribal interests in numerous matters before state and federal courts of appeal and in arbitration proceedings. I have also represented national tribal organizations as amicus curiae before federal courts on matters with widespread implications for tribal trust lands, federal administrative procedure, and child welfare. Throughout my career, I have advised clients on all manner of legal and policy issues relating to the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), and have represented tribes and tribal interests in trial and appellate court proceedings involving the ICWA in multiple states.
