We are well versed in the federal, state and local legislative processes. We advise clients on matters before the United States Congress, the Arkansas General Assembly, County Quorum Courts, City Councils and various boards and commissions.
State and Local Governmental Relations
We can provide you with the research, drafting and lobbying resources necessary to achieve your legislative goals. If the situation calls for a multi-disciplinary approach, we can help you build a team of public relations and technical professionals to tackle the project. In addition, we can help you make sure that you and your representatives are in compliance with all applicable lobbyist, ethics and public disclosure laws and regulations.
Our recent legislative efforts of note include playing a major role in legislation on the siting of exempt wholesale generator power plants in Arkansas. We directed a successful effort to obtain a statutory exemption from redundant state pipeline safety regulations. Other legislative projects include tax credit, economic development and probate law matters. We also drafted recent amendments to federal banking law providing for a federal override of state usury limits.
State and Federal Administrative Proceedings
We also have extensive experience representing clients in administrative and regulatory proceedings. Please refer to the separate topic on regulatory and administrative law for more information.
