She previously served as deputy special master of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund.

- Chris Poole, JAMS CEO
Earlier in her career, Ms. Feldman served as counsel in the Complex Alternative Dispute Resolution group of the Dickstein Shapiro law firm. She advised clients in the design, implementation and administration of complex settlements and mass claims resolution programs arising out of, among others, class actions, federal legislative enactments and Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganizations. Additionally, she is an adjunct professor at the New York University School of Law and a lecturer in law at the University of Pennsylvania Carey School of Law.
Throughout my career, I’ve learned the importance of understanding the human element involved in each case. I prioritize hearing parties’ perspectives, emotions and needs, and balance those factors with the facts and objectives at hand to help parties reach an effective resolution.
