Louis M. Marlin, Esq. is a full-time neutral with JAMS who brings significant trial experience in his background as both plaintiff and defense counsel. He specializes in resolving a wide variety of disputes, and is especially adept at handling large, complex cases, including matters involving class action, mass tort, employment, business disputes and personal injury issues.

Mr. Marlin works closely with litigants before the mediation begins, fostering early communication with all sides to determine the largest impediments to settlement. He is rigorous in his follow up and will continue to communicate with the parties if necessary long after the mediation session has ended.

During mediations, Mr. Marlin works to quickly move the parties to focusing on the key issues that need to be overcome in order to achieve a satisfactory resolution of a dispute. He actively avoids the normal "back and forth" between the parties that can result in anger and frustration, and delay in the proceedings, all of which interfere with the mediation process.

As an arbitrator, Mr. Marlin ensures the process is convenient for the parties so that all sides feel they have had an opportunity to be heard. Arbitration scheduling is done for the convenience of all parties.

Mr. Marlin had more than four decades as a litigator of complex, multi-party and class action matters. He is a Fellow in the College of Labor and Employment Attorneys. He employs his prior experience as both plaintiff and defense counsel to his practice as a neutral.
