Mediation Fees
A clear and transparent approach to mediation fees, discussed during the initial consultation.
Mediation fees are typically shared equally between participants, although alternative arrangements can be agreed where appropriate.
Fees are generally based on a day rate, with additional time charged where mediation extends beyond the agreed session. The overall cost will depend on the value and complexity of the dispute, the number of participants involved and the preparation required.
Fee Arrangements
The fee for a mediation is discussed during the initial consultation.
This allows the mediator to understand the circumstances of the dispute and take into account the relevant factors when determining an appropriate fee.
An indication of cost will usually be provided during the consultation or shortly afterwards.
Preparation
Mediation fees normally include reasonable preparation time.
Where a dispute involves a significant volume of documentation or requires extensive preparatory reading, additional preparation time may be charged where appropriate. Any such arrangements would be discussed in advance.
Overtime
Where mediation continues beyond the agreed session, additional time may be charged.
A Note on Cost-Effectiveness
Mediation is often significantly less expensive than litigation or other formal dispute resolution processes. Fees are commonly shared between participants, which can make mediation a particularly economical approach to resolving disputes before they escalate further.
