Cottage industry: arbitration and mediation firms (ADR)

More a McMansion industry than a cottage industry, the providers of ADR services to companies and law departments include many very large entities, such as the American Arbitration Association (AAA); Endispute, JAMS (which has more than 200 full-time neutrals, according to the Economist, Feb. 3, 2007 at 62); and the National Arbitration Forum. Some magazines include entire directories of companies that offer arbitrators and mediators. Here are just a few of the other providers:

Adams ADR Services Ltd.

ADR Services, Inc.

Palmer Brown Madden ADR Services
