Firm Summary

Rich Cassidy is a Vermont mediator and arbitrator.

A founder of Rich Cassidy Law, before transitioning to full-time practice as a neutral, Rich practiced for more than 40 years as a litigator and trial lawyer. Over time, his practice changed substantially. As a result, Rich has experience representing all sides in many kinds of disputes: plaintiffs and defendants, employers and employees, injured parties, and insurance companies. He believes that the breadth of his experience benefits his work as a neutral.

He has advocated for individuals, businesses, and governments in a broad range of civil litigation, including construction cases, cases under the Uniform Commercial Code, and contract and business tort claims. He has significant experience with litigation and alternative dispute resolution involving higher education, public education, public safety, health care, municipalities, and manufacturing. His clients have included college students, faculty, and administrators as well as individuals, businesses, governmental agencies, and not-for-profit entities. He represented labor unions, management, and individuals in collective bargaining relationships.

For the last decade of his work as a trial lawyer, Rich’s practice focused on personal injury and labor and employment law.

Since 1994, he has been a member of the Panel of Early Neutral Evaluators for the United States District Court for the District of Vermont. He is also on the early neutral evaluation panels for the Vermont Environmental Court and Vermont Superior Courts.

Rich believes that the legal process can serve the ends of justice and has been active in work to improve the law throughout his career. For details see his curriculum vitae.

When he’s not working or in a committee meeting, Rich enjoys reading, walking his dog, Sophie, skiing, swimming, and rowing his Adirondack Guide Boat on Lake Champlain.
