Buying a home in Arkansas? Discover 5 key legal tips from experienced real estate attorneys at RMP Law to protect your investment and avoid costly mistakes.
On Tuesday, the Federal Trade Commission issued a new Rule putting an end to employment-related non-compete clauses. In its justification for the rule, the FTC called non-compete clauses “an unfair method of competition” and stated it is a “violation for [employers] to… enter into non-compete clauses (“non-competes”) with workers.” In today’s very competitive labor market, the new FTC Rule creates a significant disruption for employers.
This new FTC provision—set to take effect in 120 days—renders existing non-compete agreements unenforceable. Existing non-compete agreements with senior executives will remain enforceable, although employers cannot require newly hired senior executives to sign such an agreement.
After the Rule takes effect, employers are required to deliver personal notice to employees (past and present) who signed a non-compete agreement informing them agreements are no longer enforceable. In the notice, employers must inform employees they are free to accept any job or start any business, even if it is directly competitive with the employer.
Compliance with the FTC Rule is not optional. Employers should consider new ways they can protect against a former employee gaining a competitive advantage by using the employer- provided training, the relationships made possible by the employer, or the confidential information learned from the employer. RMP can assist you in navigating this disruption and can provide advice on how to most effectively protect your vital business interests going forward.

Insurance plays a critical role in modern life—whether you're a business owner, a homeowner, or a hBuying a home in Arkansas is an exciting milestone—but it’s also a complex legal transaction. At RMP Law, our team of experienced real estate attorneys has helped hundreds of clients navigate the home buying process with clarity and confidence.
From reviewing contracts to uncovering hidden title issues, we’ve seen firsthand how the right legal advice can prevent expensive mistakes. If you're preparing to buy a home, here are five key tips from an Arkansas real estate lawyer that can help protect your investment.
Insurance coverage law addresses the rights and obligations between an insurance company and its pOne of the most important legal documents in your real estate transaction is the title commitment. It outlines any recorded liens, easements, or ownership issues that could affect your rights to the property.
Watch out for Schedule B. Schedule B includes exceptions from your title insurance—meaning they’re your responsibility after closing. An experienced real estate lawyer can help interpret these documents and identify any red flags before you sign on the dotted line.
Most buyers rely on standard form contracts provided by agents. While convenient, these forms aren’t always tailored to your situation or fully protective of your interests.
A real estate attorney can help review and revise your contract, adding custom language around inspections, financing, and seller obligations. This ensures that your legal and financial interests are clearly spelled out—and protected.

Skipping a survey might save money initially, but it can cost you significantly later. Surveys confirm property boundaries and reveal issues like encroachments, shared driveways, and easements.
At RMP Law, our Arkansas real estate lawyers have handled numerous cases in which outdated or missing surveys led to costly disputes. We always recommend reviewing a current boundary survey before closing, especially on older properties or rural land.
Many Arkansas homes are sold “as-is,” but purchasing a home “as-is” doesn’t necessarily waive your right to all protection. Sellers may still have obligations with respect to certain disclosures based on the specifics of the transaction, and ultimately, sellers cannot misrepresent or fraudulently conceal the true condition of the property.
If you're buying an "as-is" property, a real estate lawyer can help you assess disclosures, review inspection reports, and advise on whether you still have room to negotiate—or walk away.
Title companies are essential, but they do not provide legal representation. They help close the deal, not protect your rights.
Here’s what RMP Law does that a title company can’t:
