De Respino advises on mediation
With a passion developed over 36 years of experience in evaluating and litigating complex disputes and the strategic decisions that are required for risk analysis, Laurence J. De Respino, Esq. launched De Respino Dispute Resolution in June 2023 to provide mediation and arbitration services to lawyers and their clients throughout the United States on complex commercial/business and catastrophic injury disputes.
“Although my company is in its infancy, the biggest challenge has been building the credibility necessary for lawyers and their clients to trust that I will creatively and reasonably assist in settling their dispute,” De Respino shares.
It’s actually more a matter of communicating that credibility rather than establishing it, as De Respino has built an outstanding track record spanning experience as an outside trial lawyer; lead in-house corporate lawyer; top-tier business executive; and settlement judge to help corporate, commercial and individual parties navigate the legal process through a myriad of substantive legal disciplines. His diverse background includes tenure as a trial lawyer with Streich Lang (now Quarles & Brady), director of litigation and later general counsel and chief legal officer at U-Haul, and as a judge pro tempore of the Maricopa County Superior Court. He is committed to dispute resolution; managing business risks; and minimizing the economic, emotional and psychological impacts of litigation.
In addition, his expertise has made him a valuable arbitrator, having represented parties and serving on panels across the nation as well as developing arbitration programs for businesses, including U-Haul’s arbitration system for handling all employment and consumer disputes.
