Riyaz Kanji is widely viewed as a leading trial and appellate litigator on behalf of Indian nations and tribes across the country.
Chambers USA noted, “He combines a deep knowledge of Indian law with a keen sense of how to craft a winning appellate argument. He is relentless in pursuit of his client’s interest but manages to keep an even keel. Nothing ruffles him.”
Riyaz represents the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa in the Enbridge lawsuit.
