Fee Structure
Please contact Oliver for confirmation of his mediation fees. He will usually offer a fixed fee for whole day (8 hour) and half day (4 hour) mediations. Fees will depend on the monetary value and complexity of the dispute.
Fees for a half day mediation are typically two thirds of the full day rates.
The fees do not include accommodation, venue and meal costs of the day which will be payable by the parties in equal shares or as otherwise agreed by them.
Additional time in preparation and in the mediation itself may be charged out at £300 per hour (no VAT) or as otherwise agreed.
The fee will include:
- Telephone calls with the solicitors or parties involved to identify the key issues, discuss preparation and to set up the mediation for the parties;
- Reasonable preparation time (up to 4 hours);
- The making of arrangements for the mediation including settling the agreement to mediate and other related documentation and correspondence;
- Travel time if the mediation is within Yorkshire;
- Any accommodation costs and travel outside Yorkshire are additional with mileage charged at 45p per mile;
- The first 8/9 hours on the mediation day; and
- Any follow up which may be required by phone or email, limited to a further hour.
