An ounce of mediation is worth a pound of arbitration and a ton of litigation!

Fees
For Civil and Commercial Mediations
I operate within the guidelines of the Civil Mediations Council’s fixed fee scheme, see below. This gives a general outline of what fees may be but obviously each individual case is different (depending on the number of parties, the length of time required, the overall amount in dispute, the location etc.) And so once we have discussed your case I can give you a clear figure. Each party pays an equal contribution to the fee. The fee is paid in advance of the mediation event.
| Amount being claimed | Fees per party | Length of session |
|---|---|---|
| £5,000 or less* | £75 + VAT | 1 hour – telephone/video mediation only |
| £5,000 or less* | £125 + VAT | 2 hours – telephone/video mediation |
| £5,000 to £15,000* | £320 + VAT | 3 hours |
| £15,000 – £50,000 | £445 + VAT | 4 hours |
| Each additional hour is charged at £100+ VAT per party | ||
For SEND mediations
Fees vary depending on the local authority but are covered by that Local Authority.
For Community Mediations
Generally fees are decided and covered by the housing association or organisation providing the mediation.
