Civil & Commercial Mediation – Fees
Our fees are competitive – contact us for a quote
We have worked very hard to make our fees estimates as simple and as transparent as possible. Fees are only charged for the agreed mediation sessions and are inclusive of preparation, travel and subsistence (unless otherwise agreed before engagement) and VAT where applicable.
Fees for civil and commercial mediations are due in advance of the mediation for the agreed duration booked. Any overrun is charged at the same hourly rate.
Notes for all mediations
1. Any costs arising out of the hire of meeting rooms are the parties’ responsibility. Mediated Dispute Solutions can offer help or advice on locating rooms. There is no additional charge for online videoconferencing services and it is available for all disputes. Participants can be in individual rooms or in groups and in different geographical locations. The mediation can be held in a joint session or in shuttle mediation where the parties cannot see each other.
2. The aggregate value = the value of the claim + the value of any counter – claim, together with legal cost if they are to be included in the dispute.
3. The mediator’s fees must be paid in full before the mediation as stated on the invoice otherwise the mediation may be cancelled or postponed at the mediator’s discretion.
4. The above fees are inclusive of travel and subsistence but normally exclude travel of more than two hours per outward or inward journey; or any exceptionally incurred expenses.
5. To be able to give you a firm estimate of the cost of mediation more information is required from all the parties, including:
– how many parties are involved;
– confirmation of the value of the claim and confirmation that there is no counter – claim, or its value if there is one and the costs.
