The newest member of the Phillips ADR Enterprises (“PADRE”) team, David M. Murphy, joined PADRE’s group of independent panelists in 2017 and is available both as a mediator and arbitrator.

David, a retired partner at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen and Katz, is one of the most seasoned litigators in America. He brings three decades of experience representing plaintiffs and defendants before courts and arbitration panels all over the country. He is also an accomplished mediator and arbitrator.

After graduating with honors from Yale University, David attended the University of Chicago Law School, where he won the annual Hinton Moot Court Competition, the Mulroy Prize for oral advocacy, and the Beale Prize for legal research and writing.
