I’m Jim Purcell, an experienced mediator and arbitrator specializing in a wide range of healthcare, insurance, business torts, and commercial disputes. For decades, I represented clients in arbitrations and mediation (as well as in federal and state courts) as an advocate. 

I have the unique perspective of having been an advocate, client, business person, and now neutral. I’m the former CEO Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island (“BCBSRI”). I was a client in several high-profile arbitrations and mediations, and bring years of hands-on business experience to the table. And now, I am a mediator and arbitrator, having received extensive AHLA, AAA, and other neutral training.
