Walsh Pizzi O’Reilly Falanga LLP, an established law firm, has recently upped the ante in its mediation and arbitration squad with the addition of former U.S. Magistrate Judge Douglas Arpert. This move represents the second instance in recent times that the firm has enriched its roster with a retired New Jersey federal magistrate judge.
This strategic acquisition underscores the law firm’s commitment to robust representation in arbitration and mediation matters. Douglas Arpert, who served as a U.S. Magistrate Judge, brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise that will serve as a meaningful asset to the firm’s Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) division.
Arpert’s addition follows an emerging pattern in the firm, reflecting its particular appreciation for the invaluable insights former judicial officers can contribute. The firm had previously brought on another retired New Jersey federal magistrate judge, demonstrating a clear intent to strengthen its ADR practice with seasoned adjudicators who carry extensive experience from the bench to the negotiation table.
