"No Ink, No Problem: When Employees and Agents Can Enforce Arbitration Agreements," ConsensusDocs

By Jordan M. Heath

Article

August 7, 2026

Jordan Heath, an associate on the Construction Team in the Atlanta office, together with Jacob Morrison, a 2026 Jones Walker summer associate, co-authored the article "No Ink, No Problem: When Employees and Agents Can Enforce Arbitration Agreements" published by ConsensusDocs on August 7, 2026. Jordan and Jacob's article highlights the practical ways owners, general contractors, and subcontractors can account for the agency doctrine in both contract drafting and dispute resolution. The authors emphasize that when drafting arbitration provisions, parties should expressly define who is covered and clearly define agency relationships to ensure agents' day-to-day conduct matches those descriptions.
