Jeffrey M. Senger, Esq., FCIArb, joined JAMS after a distinguished career as a life sciences partner at Sidley Austin and the acting chief counsel of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). He serves as a mediator, arbitrator, special master/referee and neutral evaluator.
As a Sidley partner, Mr. Senger handled significant matters for life sciences, pharmaceutical and medtech companies worldwide. At the FDA, he directed the agency’s legal activities, including managing civil and criminal litigation, approving regulations and warning letters, and overseeing a team of 100 lawyers.
During 17 years at the United States Department of Justice, Mr. Senger served as senior counsel in the Office of the Associate Attorney General (assisting with the strategic management of more than 6,500 employees and a collective budget over $3 billion), special assistant United States attorney (prosecuting federal felony cases), training director at the National Advocacy Center and leader of the Office of Dispute Resolution (coordinating mediations and arbitrations for all federal agencies).
Mr. Senger began his career as a law clerk for a United States district judge and is an honors graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School.
Mr. Senger has mediated, arbitrated and litigated hundreds of cases involving a wide variety of complex commercial disputes, with special expertise in life sciences, health care and governmental/public agency matters.
Mr. Senger believes mediation can guide the parties in resolving their dispute more effectively and efficiently than unassisted negotiation or litigation. He sees all phases of the process as critical: careful preparation, a thoughtfully run mediation session and diligent follow-up. Through effective communication, patience and perseverance, he works to achieve a fair, appropriate and durable resolution.
Regarding arbitration, Mr. Senger’s philosophy is to deliver a just and fair result through a process that is quicker and more economical than litigation. He believes that the parties deserve a well-managed proceeding, due process, speed and economy. In his role as an arbitrator, he treats each matter with diligence, care and promptness, and understands that the result must be impartial, fair minded and well reasoned under the facts and law.
