Solomon, Saltsman & Jamieson continues to represent California’s gaming and non-gaming tribes on diverse issues such as tribal sovereignty, gaming, alcohol licensing land use, and business disputes. Senior Partner Stephen Warren Solomon explains, “Our Indian Law practice has grown over the last year, and it is really gratifying to help a cross-section of tribes meet the unique challenges they face.

We also like to be on the cutting edge and practicing Indian law certainly puts us there.” Solomon says, “gaming, alcohol and entertainment at Indian Casinos also present unique challenges in California. We are getting calls from tribes to help them navigate the ABC process, particularly from tribes looking to expand their ABC licenses as their casinos grow.” Solomon has even decided to do a seminar just for Indian tribes on ABC issues. “We have been conducting ABC seminars throughout the State for years, but because tribes face special challenges for ABC issues, I thought it was time we did a seminar exclusively for tribes and the unique issues they face.” This seminar will be scheduled sometime in March of 2008 and SSJ will send notice to California’s tribes as details are worked out. Tribes with any question should feel free to call Solomon directly.
