The firm’s 75 attorneys support clients with unmatched skill in litigation, corporate and transactional work, tax, labor and employment, government relations and lobbying, environmental law and intellectual property. Trusted partners to iconic Arkansas companies and brands, the WLJ team has deep experience in the agriculture, transportation, banking, health care, construction, manufacturing, real estate, municipal and utilities, hospitality, education and nonprofit industries.

WLJ proactively develops knowledge in evolving industries to meet the demands of the business community. It is at the forefront of technology, energy, economic development, AI, e-discovery, small business and entrepreneurship, cannabis, mediation and name, image and likeness (NIL) partnerships.

WLJ also has a vibrant, award-winning workplace. WLJ was Arkansas’ first large law firm to elect a Black partner, a woman partner and a woman management committee chair. Today, the firm management team includes two women and three minority partners.

The firm’s founders established relationships that have lasted for generations, a tradition that continues today. WLJ has long served as an advisor and advocate for women- and minority-owned businesses. Its Woman-Run initiative, launched in 2019, builds community through relationships and resources, including a podcast debuting in 2025.

WLJ received the Olivia Farrell Gender Equity Leadership Award from the Women’s Foundation of Arkansas and the Smart Corporate Giving Award from the Arkansas Community Foundation. WLJ has been named one of the “Best Places to Work” in Arkansas every year since 2018 and was the Arkansas Business “Best of Biz” winner in the legal category in 2024.
