- Chris Poole, JAMS CEO
Earlier in his career, Mr. Zuckerman served in private practice as a trial and appellate litigator at Jones Day. He represented clients in a variety of complex cases in federal and state courts. While in private practice, he became known for his skill in briefing complicated issues, developing legal strategy and negotiating settlements, representing both plaintiffs and defendants. He previously clerked for federal judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
Mediation and arbitration offer the distinct ability to connect with parties in a meaningful way, helping to understand the root causes of their disputes and the best pathway forward. I love what I do—assisting people and businesses in resolving conflict. As an ADR professional and former litigator, I bring passion, skill and a personal touch to my matters. I’m thrilled to join JAMS.
