Tribal Law

Kronick’s Tribal law practice team expertly counsels sovereign Native American governments and tribal businesses, as well as non-tribal clients engaged with tribal entities, on effective consultation, tribal cultural resources protection (AB 52), the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA and CalNAGPRA), CEQA, NEPA, the National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106), land use and planning (SB 18), affordable housing development (AB 168) water law, natural resources, and energy matters. Our attorneys’ representation is informed by their years of experience across multiple practice areas, from land use to environmental and water law, their thorough knowledge of federal and state law, and their dedication to the importance of the government-to-government relationship between tribal governments and lead agencies. From protecting tribal sovereignty to expanding access to economic development and natural resources, obtaining equitable, informed, professional counsel in all matters is essential.

Kronick attorneys assist land-use agencies, landowners, and tribal governments in navigating government-to-government consultation, negotiating tribal monitoring agreements, and working with regulatory agencies to develop appropriate mitigation when resources are impacted by proposed development. As part of our tribal consultation work, we also support Native American tribes and tribal organizations in their efforts to acquire land for cultural access and resource protection.
