The largest law firm in Northwest Arkansas recently got bigger.

The Fayetteville office of national law firm Kutak Rock LLP hired J. Benjamin Barnett, Stephen M. Dacus, Eve Dowden and Jennifer C. McKeown as associates, the firm announced Oct. 17.

Four other associates were hired for the firm’s Little Rock office, and of counsel attorney Kate Orejuela joined the Fayetteville office.

“The recent additions are a part of the continued active growth period for us and will help the firm meet the increasing demand for the exceptional legal services we provide to our clients,” said Terry Pool, a partner with the firm who oversees the Fayetteville and Little Rock offices.

Kutak Rock is headquartered in Omaha and has more than 450 attorneys in 16 offices across the country.

The firm had 25 lawyers in its Fayetteville office, according to the Northwest Arkansas Business Journal’s list of Largest Law Firms published March 3.
