How is JAMS Pathways different?

As longtime leaders in alternative dispute resolution, we are experienced in using a neutral, third-party perspective to resolve conflicts in formal proceedings like arbitration, mediation and litigation. But there are also informal challenges and conflicts that can keep your organization from reaching its goals. Resolving those problems before they lead to serious harm or a formal process has benefits throughout your organization.

JAMS Pathways was established to fill the need for skilled early conflict intervention. Our highly trained facilitators create a safe space and guardrails for your team to have challenging conversations and design their own workable solutions to advance organizational goals.
Neutrality

Neutrality

Neutrality is at the core of our approach. We push no agenda, and we take no sides. This gives us credibility and builds a safe environment where each party feels heard and treated equally.
Inclusivity

Inclusivity

We involve each stakeholder and bring them along on the journey, building a strong base for the future. By focusing on inclusivity, we restore broken communication and create lasting change.
Customization
