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.

New tariffs and economic shocks are placing immense strain on business contracts and relationships. For companies entangled in long-term agreements, the instinctive reaction—litigating or engaging in a zero-sum renegotiation over who absorbs the increased costs—will likely result in mutual losses. The traditional adversarial model, where one party’s gain is another’s loss, is fundamentally unsuited to these challenges. Instead, business leaders and sophisticated legal professionals must recognize that their best move is not fighting over shrinking margins, but rethinking the deal itself.
