Steve Niswanger is the managing member of the firm and has about 20 years experience in business and general litigation and transactions, with an emphasis in contracts, creditors' rights, bankruptcy, real estate, business torts, partner disputes, trade secrets, and construction. He has been recognized as one of the leading attorneys in the Southeastern U.S. In addition, he received the 2016 Award for Arkansas Corporate Litigation from Corporate International magazine. Mr. Niswanger has spoken at numerous seminars on the topics of collections, construction liens and disputes, and bankruptcy. He is a member of the American, Arkansas, and Pulaski County Bar Associations. He received his B.A. degrees in English and Public Policy from Duke University, cum laude, in 1991; and a J.D. degree with high honors in 1995 from U.A.L.R. Law School, where he was an associate editor of the law journal. He was admitted to practice in Arkansas in 1996. He is an alumnus of Greater Little Rock Leadership and the past Lt. Governor of Division 21 of the Kiwanis International Mo-Ark District. He is the past president of the Downtown Little Rock Kiwanis Club, which supports Camp Pfiefier, a charitable institution dedicated to improving the lives of Arkansas' at-risk 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders in Central Arkansas. He also served on the Board of Youth Home, Inc., which is a charitable institution dedicated to helping Arkansas' most emotionally troubled adolescents and families become healthier contributing members of the community.

Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

I have had a couple of significant appellate decisions in the last few years. In Falcon Steel, Inc. v. J. Russell Flowers, Inc., 635 F.3d 369 (8th Cir. 2011), the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's conclusion that a supplier of steel had a construction lien against the entire project of 4 partially constructed barges. This opinion is significant because it will make it easier for sub-contractors and material suppliers to enforce constructions liens against incomplete projects. In Whitbeck v. Bradford, 2012 Ark. 439, the Arkansas Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's decision that the doctrine of res judicata applies to settlements and that a confirmation of sale is a final and appealable order. This decision is significant because it confirms old case law concerning settlements and their preclusive effect.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?

Local knowledge is important to the success of your case. A lawyer who knows the judge and the jury pool will have significant insight about personalities and personal inclinations. This knowledge will allow the lawyer to create better strategies for your case.

Are you involved in your community?

I am involved in the community. I am the past Lt. Governor of Division 21 of the Kiwanis International Mo-Ark District. I am the past president of the Downtown Little Rock Kiwanis Club, which supports Camp Pfiefier, a charitable institution dedicated to improving the lives of Arkansas' at-risk 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders in Central Arkansas. I also serve on the Board of Youth Home, Inc., which is a charitable institution dedicated to helping Arkansas' most emotionally troubled adolescents and families become healthier contributing members of the community. Further, I am on the Advisory Board of Partners Against Trafficking Humans (PATH), a non-profit organization dedicated to stopping the trafficking of mainly young women for sex.
