SAN FRANCISCO – JAMS, the largest private provider of mediation and arbitration services worldwide, today announced the addition of Phillip Neiman, Esq. to its panel. Mr. Neiman will be based in the San Francisco Resolution Center and serve as a mediator, arbitrator and special master in a variety of disputes including Business/Commercial, Financial/Securities, Employment, Real Property, Trusts/Estates, Insurance, Intellectual Property, and Tort claims.

Mr. Neiman joins JAMS with 15 years of experience as a full-time neutral settling high-stakes disputes, with a focus on securities, financial and commercial cases.

As a former investment banker, Mr. Neiman brings a unique skill set to his ADR practice. He spent more than a decade raising capital for growth companies in the technology space, serving as lead facilitator in privately negotiated transactions involving hedge funds, foreign banks, asset managers and other institutional investors. He draws on this background as a dealmaker throughout the mediation process. 

“I look forward to continuing my work as a neutral and guiding parties and counsel through the settlement process," said Mr. Neiman. “I’m excited to join the talented JAMS team in San Francisco.”
