Rose Law Firm is an American law firm headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas.
It dates its origins to November 1, 1820, sixteen years before Arkansas statehood, when Robert Crittenden, born 1797, and Chester Ashley, born 1791, entered into an agreement for a "Partnership in the Practice of Law". As such, it is the third oldest law firm in the United States[3] and the oldest west of the Mississippi River.[4][5] It is also the oldest company of any kind in Arkansas.[4]
In 2018, the firm elected its first female managing member.[6] In 2020, the firm celebrated its 200th birthday.[7]
