We’re pleased to welcome Hon. Tony Richardson (Ret.) to ADR Services, Inc. Judge Richardson brings more than four decades of legal experience to his work as a neutral, including nearly three decades handling complex commercial litigation in private practice, 17 of those years at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, and more than thirteen years on the Los Angeles County Superior Court. He most recently presided over an Independent Calendar Court at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse, and he also served for seven years in the Superior Court’s Appellate Division and by assignment as a Justice Pro Tem of the California Court of Appeal. Resolution has been a constant theme throughout his career. He found mandatory settlement conferences among his most rewarding assignments on the bench, and he approaches mediation with preparation, persistence, and pragmatism, staying engaged even when a matter doesn’t resolve in the first session. His appellate perspective allows him to assess not only the strengths and weaknesses of a party’s position, but also the procedural and legal issues that may arise as a case moves forward. Judge Richardson’s experience spans insurance coverage, employment, Labor Code and PAGA claims, real property, construction defects, intellectual property, professional malpractice, and partnership disputes, making him particularly well suited to sophisticated commercial matters and cases presenting difficult legal questions.
