Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Law Firm
Mediation and Arbitration of Business Disputes

Many cases that are traditionally litigated can be resolved through alternative dispute resolution, or ADR, when the various parties are amenable. Vaughan & Murphy represents clients in mediation or arbitration of complex litigation claims, including antitrust, contract law and employment law matters.

Our firm is based in Atlanta, Georgia. When it makes economic or strategic sense, we recommend ADR methods for clients throughout Georgia and nearby states in the Southeast United States, including Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. David Vaughan, of counsel to the firm, is a certified mediator who has helped scores of clients resolve issues out of court.

The Win-Win Solution
Mediation and arbitration are good mechanisms to resolve cases, because they are less time-consuming, less expensive and do not always result in an absolute "winner" and "loser" as is often the case in litigation. Often, ADR is an attractive solution where the parties do not desire the formality of a jury or bench trial. Increasingly, commercial contracts are drafted to contain an arbitration or mediation clause requiring proceedings to occur before the American Arbitration Association. We have experience in these areas and have successfully resolved a variety of commercial disputes - many involving complex claims - such as partnership disputes, employment discrimination claims, restrictive covenant disputes, and other matters.

Our firm also drafts business contracts with clauses for mediation or binding arbitration to attempt to avoid protracted litigation.
