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. In my more than 10 years as a beekeeper, I’ve learned a few things that have impacted my approach to working as an arbitrator and mediator, and I want to share them with you in the hope they might help you as well.
At the recent NetDiligence CyberRisk Summit in San Diego, Elizabeth Carter, Senior Vice President of Operations at JAMS, joined a panel of legal and insurance experts for a timely and nuanced discussion titled "The Rise of Collective Claims via Mass Arbitrations: Powerful Tool or Contentious Development?" This forward-looking session explored the mechanics, motivations, and challenges behind the mass arbitration trend that is reshaping the litigation and dispute resolution landscape.
I studied law in both Europe and the United States, earning credentials that enabled me to practice and advise across multiple legal systems. Shortly after becoming an attorney, I took on a dual role as a legal consultant and in-house counsel at a tech consultancy firm. This early experience sharpened my understanding of complex regulatory frameworks and commercial dispute dynamics in the tech and telecom sectors. I’ve worked in academia and as a legal advisor counseling Fortune 100 companies, sovereign entities, and NGOs on multifaceted legal challenges, blending the strategic mindset of a U.S.-trained lawyer with the procedural and cultural fluency needed to manage global disputes. I spent two decades cultivating a legal career that combined deep engagement with U.S. law and a global legal perspective.
