He has successfully represented clients in negotiations, mediations, arbitrations, hearings, trials, and appeals.
Robinson is admitted to practice law in the state and federal courts of Utah and Wyoming. As an active member of the Utah State Bar Association, he was elected to and served as chairman of the Construction Law Section.
His knowledge, skills and experience in construction law are recognized by his peers who have, for several years running, selected him as a member of Utah Business magazine’s Utah Legal Elite and as a Super Lawyer in the Mountain States Super Lawyers magazine, in the area of construction law. He currently serves on ABC’s board of directors, executive committee and as a member and past chairman of the education committee.
Robinson replaces Darrel Bostwick, Bostwick & Price PC, as general counsel for the Utah chapter. Bostwick served the Utah chapter as general counsel for 10 years and continues to sit on the ABC National PAC Trustees Board.
Bostwick will serve in a new role for ABC Utah as its state lobbyist.
