Description

Tribal lands across the United States offer an abundance of potential energy resources. To make the most of these resources for tribal and non-tribal parties alike, developers, operators, and investors must navigate the federal and tribal regulatory and legal frameworks applicable to tribal lands. Counsel must craft deal structures that navigate these regulatory hurdles and balance real-world timelines and tribal-specific requirements to ensure project financial viability.

Listen as our panel reviews the challenges and considerations for developing energy projects on tribal lands, managing access, routing, permitting, and best practices for drafting ownership, leases, and other contract structures.
