Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services

JAMS, formerly known as Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, is the world's largest private provider of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services. Founded in 1979, the organization offers arbitration, mediation, and other dispute resolution services through a prestigious panel of retired state and federal court judges and professional neutrals. While JAMS is a legal services firm rather than a biotechnology company, it frequently handles complex disputes within the life sciences, healthcare, and pharmaceutical sectors, including intellectual property and patent litigation. The company operates numerous resolution centers across the United States and internationally, providing a private alternative to the traditional court system.
