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.

With more than 40 years of experience in construction mediations, I’ve seen how early mediator involvement can significantly streamline the resolution process. By engaging a mediator early—before discovery heats up—parties can benefit from a structured, privileged exchange of information that reduces litigation costs and supports a more informed and efficient path to settlement.
JAMS, the largest private provider of alternative dispute resolution services worldwide, has launched a new practice dedicated to labor arbitration and has created new rules governing labor disputes. Based in Irvine, Calif., with a large office in downtown Detroit, JAMS states labor arbitration is a distinctive form of alternative dispute resolution primarily used to resolve disputes between employers and employees, often within unionized workplaces.
When should we mediate? Parties often assume that extensive discovery is necessary for effective settlement negotiations, but mediation timing is fundamentally about balancing opportunities against risks. Early mediation offers the chance to resolve disputes before incurring substantial costs, though it carries the risk of settling without complete information. Late mediation provides more comprehensive case knowledge, but it also brings the risk of escalated costs and hardened positions. Today’s practitioners must navigate this balance more strategically than ever before.
