Legislative Advocacy

Our firm is at the forefront of legislative and regulatory development in Arkansas, providing clients with guidance on public policy and the legislative process. Our attorneys regularly assist industry leaders, trade associations, and major stakeholders in drafting, negotiating, and advocating for laws that impact Arkansas’s business, financial, real estate, and professional sectors.

We serve as legislative counsel to prominent trade organizations, including the Arkansas REALTORS® Association, Arkansas Bankers Association, Arkansas Community Bankers Association, and Arkansas Optometric Association. During each session of the Arkansas General Assembly, our attorneys review, draft, and advance legislative proposals, often testifying before House and Senate committees.

Our attorneys have also been deeply involved in the review, drafting, and passage of numerous Uniform Law Commission acts adopted in Arkansas. These include the Revised Uniform Limited Liability Company Act, the Uniform Easement Relocation Act, the 2018 and 2022 UCC Amendments, the Uniform Trust Decanting Act, the Uniform Fiduciary Income and Principal Act, and the Uniform Protected Series Act, among others. We have served in key advisory roles to state regulators, including the Arkansas State Bank Department, on matters of statutory modernization.
