Fine-tune Your Strategy
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.

Learn about our global reach
Not long ago, I spoke with a general contractor on a multinational infrastructure project. “We had five nationalities on-site,” he said, “and six different ways of interpreting the same deadline.” He wasn’t exaggerating.
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.
In a recent segment on Atlanta69 WUPA-TV, JAMS President and CEO Kim Taylor joined host Keisha Lancelin on Focus Atlanta to discuss the evolving role of mediation in today’s legal and business landscapes. Taylor shed light on how mediation, once primarily used for community disputes, has become a trusted and strategic option for resolving commercial conflicts.
