Full Day.  Full day mediation fees are $2,500.00 per party. Mediations that go beyond 5:30 p.m. are invoiced an additional $500.00 per hour, divided evenly between the parties. Fees include all preparation time, pre-mediation conferences, lunch for all participants, and expenses.  Full day mediations ordinarily convene at 9:30 a.m., and we work through lunch for as long as necessary.  Arrangements for off-site locations are gladly accommodated. There may be an additional charge for travel time and all travel considerations.

Arbitration.  Normal fee arrangement is $5,600/day, divided evenly, for each reserved hearing date.  An additional day or half-day may be added, to cover pre-hearing and post-hearing time incurred.

Note: in complex cases, where a substantial amount of preparation time is essential, additional fees may be proposed.

All parties represented by one lawyer or firm are one “party” for purposes of the mediation fee.
