Mediation fees are based on the following:
~ 2 Parties: $290 per party, per hour
~ 3 Parties: $225, per party, per hour
~ 4+ Parties: $180, per party, per hour
To avoid confusion, we define a “party” as all parties who are represented by the same counsel.
MINIMUM FEE
The minimum fee for a half day mediation session (a mediation scheduled for 4 hours or less) will be 3 hours. The minimum for a full day mediation will be 7 hours.
Cancellation Policy
If a mediation need to be cancelled or rescheduled for any reason, our office must be notified via email prior to the date and time indicated in your confirmation email for that particular mediation in order to avoid the minimum fee.
Billing and Payment
Following the mediation, each party will receive an invoice for their portion of the mediation fee. All fees will be split equally among the parties unless otherwise agreed. Payment is due upon receipt and should be made in accordance to the payment instructions on the invoice.
