Robins Kaplan announced today that it will expand
its representation in the United States by
launching the American Indian Law and Policy
Practice Group, with Brendan Johnson, former U.S.
Attorney for the District of South Dakota, and
Tim Purdon, former U.S. Attorney for the district
of North Dakota, enhancing the group with their
familiarity and experience working with Native
Indians and Tribal clients."For far too long,
American Indian Tribes across the United States
have faced a competitive disadvantage when
litigating against powerful forces," said Martin
Lueck, Chairman of Robins Kaplan's Executive
Board. "We are excited to announce Robins
Kaplan's American Indian Law and Policy Practice,
where Brendan and Tim-along with a talented team
of Robins Kaplan professionals-will help bring
justice to Tribal communities."

Justice sounds a noble albeit obvious goal for
any set of lawyers, and bringing justice to those
especially struggling for it sounds all the more
noble. As they've said, "Our commitment to tribal
sovereignty and self-determination will drive our
representations."This they will do through
their experienced litigators Johnson, who has
worked in South Dakota's Indian country, and
Purdon, who designed an anti-violence strategy
for North Dakota Indian reservations."Robins
Kaplan's American Indian Law and Policy Practice
will aim to make a long-term, positive impact in
Tribal communities across the country," said
Johnson. "Our commitment to tribal sovereignty
and self-determination will drive our
representations."

"As U.S. Attorneys, Brendan and I worked
relentlessly to seek new ways to improve public
safety in Indian Country. Now supported by our
talented colleagues at Robins Kaplan, we will
bring this same commitment and incisive strategic
thinking to our private practice work for Tribes
and the citizens of Indian Country," said
Purdon.As a premier trial law firm, Robins is
expanding their practice into a unique market,
bringing the talent and quality they have on the
national scene to represent a specialized market.
