The proven and trusted law firm of Vaughan & Murphy represents clients across Georgia and the Southeastern United States in criminal and civil litigation raising claims under federal and state antitrust and trade regulation law. Our firm also handles white collar criminal defense matters, employment law litigation, and provides pre-litigation counseling to businesses involved in domestic and foreign commerce.

Antitrust Criminal Defense
Few firms have the experience and the unique knowledge in defense of antitrust criminal charges.
Our lead antitrust attorney – Charles Murphy – offers more than 30 years of experience, including both prosecution and defense of antitrust and related crimes. For the past three years, he has been recognized by Chambers & Partners as one of the top antitrust lawyers in the State of Georgia. He has also been named to Atlanta Magazine's list of "Superlawyers" for three years running and one of the "Elite Lawyers" in Georgia Trend Magazine in 2005.
Antitrust Civil Defense
Vaughan & Murphy vigorously defends companies and individuals charged with violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act in cases involving monopolization, attempts to monopolize, conspiracy to monopolize, tying arrangements, and conspiracy to fix prices, allocate customers or divide territories.

Antitrust Compliance
We counsel companies and their employees throughout the Southeast United States in avoiding antitrust violations. We firmly believe in “preventive counseling” and, in counseling a company, will tailor an antitrust compliance program to the individual company's industry, personnel and structure. In the wake of the many newly-enacted corporate responsibility requirements and the parallel amendment to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, implementing an effective Antitrust Compliance Program is a must for a proactive company - and we have experience not only with drafting and administering the program, but bringing years' of experience to our clients to address potential problems before actual ones arise that may invite scrutiny by the federal regulators.
White Collar Criminal Defense
In addition to handling antitrust criminal charges, we also defend both companies and individuals in other white collar criminal cases such as tax fraud, bribery, embezzlement, and currency structuring.
Employee Agreement Litigation
The employment contract attorneys of Vaughan & Murphy represent corporations and employees in commercial litigation regarding non-compete, non-solicitation and confidentiality agreements.

Alternative Dispute Resolution
Vaughan & Murphy provides representation in connection with mediation and arbitration of business and commercial disputes of all varieties, with an emphasis on antitrust claims, trade secret and employment discrimination.
