Loreto (Larry) P. Rufo ’87, managing partner at Rawle & Henderson’s Wilmington office, has been named a lifelong Friend of the Court by the Superior Court of the State of Delaware—an accolade reserved for only six attorneys in the past three decades. 

The rare recognition highlights Rufo’s decades-long service to the Court, most notably his work as the defense coordinating counsel and defense medical coordinator in Delaware’s asbestos litigation. Appointed by the Delaware Superior Court, Rufo has played a pivotal role in managing complex litigation and ensuring its efficient administration. 

“Larry Rufo exemplifies the highest ideals of Delaware Law—dedication, service, and unwavering integrity,” said Dean Todd Clark. “We are proud to count him among our alumni and celebrate this extraordinary recognition of his lifelong contributions to justice.”
