Julie Pace was honored by the American Subcontractors Association of Arizona in May 2023. Julie was proud to receive the Outstanding Service Award in recognition of her long service to the betterment of the construction industry and its workers.
In presenting the award, ASA Executive Director Josh Umar praised Julie’s many contributions to improve the safety of the construction profession and her commitment to help business owners achieve success, proactively help with compliance issues and strategies to address before and after the government comes knocking, represent the interests of contractors to achieve safe work practices, to train their workers, and to achieve a common sense regulatory environment that focuses on achieving results in a fair and consistent way, rather than imposing regulatory straitjackets.
Julie has received prior awards from the ASA, as her initiatives and leadership on construction safety and legal issues have spanned more than 30 years. She has given a special focus on promoting cooperation and assistance between general contractors and subcontractors to fulfill their respective roles in operating safe construction sites and to reduce the potential for conflicts in the construction industry.
Julie’s work in the construction industry includes the representation of contractors throughout the country, including handling more than 1,000 OSHA inspections, including handling more than 350 fatalities. This broad experience has given her insights into the best practices to reduce the risk of injuries and minimize safety shortcuts among workers. Her work in representing contractors has also been responsible for her recognition in The Best Lawyers in America in the field of construction law.
