Fine-tune Your StrategyTraditional 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.

Not all mediations yield settlement. Yet few cases-perhaps less than 1% of filed civil and probate matters-are decided through jury verdicts or statements of decision.
With a seemingly endless series of challenges and obstacles over the last few years, including protocol resets, health and safety concerns, supply chain shortages and industry-wide labor strikes, the entertainment and sports industries somehow manage to succeed, with creativity and innovation – always hallmarks of show business – sparking silver linings and trends that may actually benefit some subsectors of the industry long-term.
