Innovative Images, LLC v. Summerville

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the Court of Appeals and held that an arbitration clause in an attorney-client engagement agreement was enforceable despite the possibility that the attorney violated a professional-conduct rule by failing to explain arbitration's advantages and disadvantages. The clause was not void as against public policy, was not substantively unconscionable, and was not shown to be procedurally unconscionable on the limited record. The Court declined to decide the underlying professional-conduct question, leaving it for the State Bar's rulemaking and advisory processes.
