In any of the Firm's litigation matters, we maintain an ongoing responsibility to understand our clients’ positions and attitudes toward alternative dispute resolution and other creative methods for resolving cases.

We are open to any possibility that may achieve our clients' goals.  Jones Day lawyers have participated in alternative dispute resolution and mediation in every type of litigation and ADR program that operates in the U.S., including court-sponsored and private programs. Our lawyers have successfully achieved our clients' goals in arbitrations, both binding and nonbinding, and mediations of all forms, including baseball/final offer arbitrations, bounded (i.e., high/low) arbitrations, co-mediations, confidential listener programs, early neutral evaluation programs, incentive arbitration, mini-trials, summary jury trials and, of course, court-ordered settlement conferences.  We can also tap into the experience of a number of our lawyers who are themselves trained neutrals, and have past judicial, governmental, and general counsel experience.
