Attorney General Dustin McDaniel to launch private law firm

In January, outgoing Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel will launch a new private law firm with two partners — senior assistant Scott Richardson and assistant attorney General Bart Calhoun.

McDaniel, Richardson & Calhoun PLLC will be based in Little Rock and focus on the areas of business law, commercial litigation, regulatory compliance, bankruptcy and public policy advocacy as well as education and agriculture law.

The firm will also practice personal injury and family law and the group plans to have additional offices in Jonesboro and Washington D.C.

“It has been a privilege to serve as attorney general and I look forward to many more years fighting for and protecting the rights of Arkansans,” McDaniel said. “I could not ask for a better team with which to start the next phase of my professional career. I have spent my entire career trying to make the system work better for people. My partners and I plan to continue that work for our clients, whether it’s in the regulatory environment or the courtroom.”
