1.0 Total CLE Unit
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. This CLE will focus 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.
