Fields Han Cunniff represents a variety of public clients, including the Attorney General of the Cherokee Nation and other federally recognized indigenous tribes. These cases range from claims of antitrust price fixing to consumer fraud, deceptive trade practices, breach of contract, and other claims. Many of these cases have been developed by federal and state governments as a result of criminal and civil investigations.
We work to ensure that sovereign Indian nations and their citizens have a seat at the table and receive their fair share of damages when these cases are prosecuted in court.
In April 2017, the Cherokee Nation filed a lawsuit against McKesson Corporation, Cardinal Health, Inc., AmerisourceBergen, CVS Health, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc., and Walmart Stores, Inc. to hold the companies accountable for their failure to prevent the flow of illegally prescribed opioids into the Cherokee Nation.
