Traditional mediation and arbitration are not the only tools available through JAMS. In some situations other approaches are more appropriate, effective and/or economical. These options, customized for specific organizations, industries and events, can prevent conflicts before they arise or provide more flexible, scalable and creative resolution paths when conflicts do emerge.

JAMS may be the largest private provider of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services today, but the company got its start in 1979 with a simple, ambitious vision. Founded by Hon. Warren Knight (Ret.), JAMS was created to provide a better way for people to resolve legal disputes outside the courtroom.
Poet T. S. Eliot queried:
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is knowledge we have lost in information?
Attorneys seek information. From case to case, they may obtain innumerable bits of information.
In recent months, various federal district and circuit courts have considered the enforceability of language in employer-sponsored retirement and welfare plans requiring that participants arbitrate their claims for breach of fiduciary duty individually—and not through class actions. Recently, I had the opportunity to moderate a panel discussion on this topic with Radha (Rachana) Pathak of Stris & Maher LLP and Todd Wozniak of Holland & Knight LLP. Radha and Todd both have extensive experience litigating class actions on this subject, with Radha primarily representing pension and welfare plan participants and beneficiaries, and Todd primarily defending companies and fiduciaries.
