Jenny Patten Magallanes Named to Law360 Native American Editorial Advisory Board

Jenny Patten Magallanes, counsel in Akin’s American Indian law & policy practice, has been named to Law360’s 2023 Native American Editorial Advisory Board. The board’s function is to provide feedback on Law360’s coverage, along with “expert insight on how best to shape future coverage.” She was previously named to the board in 2021 (learn more here).

Jenny, a member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe, advises on regulatory and legislative issues and strategies for Native clients, along with litigation and appellate work related to Indian tribes across the United States.

Earlier this year, Jenny was a key member of the Akin team that received a Litigator of the Week “shout-out” from The American Lawyer Litigation Daily for its appellate win on behalf of the Seneca Nation, allowing the tribe to proceed in a lawsuit that challenges New York state officials’ ongoing operation of the NYS Thruway across the Seneca Nation’s Cattaraugus Reservation.
