Guests toured the redesigned facility, which reflects JAMS' ongoing commitment to creating environments that support innovation, collaboration, and high-quality client service. The new center features 38 conference rooms, including an arbitration room, an international arbitration center, multiple mediation rooms, client and arbitration lounges, an executive boardroom and dedicated workspace for attorneys.
