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.

Beekeeping is one of my hobbies when I’m not dedicating myself to dispute resolution.

You are representing a client in a complex case that is making its way through the court system when – boom – the judge orders the parties to mediation. It may not feel like welcome news. Mediation can seem like an unexpected detour, one that delays litigation and pulls focus from trial preparation. But in truth, it presents a powerful opportunity. First, mediation allows your client to explore resolution without signaling any weakness your client did not initiate the process, beyond checking a box on the mandatory ADR form. Second, by approaching the session strategically and applying the six keys that follow, you will leave the mediation in a stronger position than when you started. Whether or not a settlement is reached, you will walk away with valuable insights into the opposing party’s strategy, a fresh perspective on your case from a neutral, and a clearer path forward. CIRCLE up your team and apply these six tips to conquer complex case mediation.
