Fee Schedule

MEDIATION

$200.00 per party, per hour, with two parties
$150.00 per party, per hour, with three parties
$130.00 per party, per hour, with four or more parties

There is a two-hour minimum for half day cases and a six-hour minimum for full day cases. The estimated fee for your mediation session is based on the reserved time of either a half day or a full day. An invoice will be sent once the mediation has been completed. Payments should be made in accordance with the payment instructions on the invoice. Please note that I have accepted this case based on our professional business relationship, but I consider this engagement as being with counsel and your clients, jointly and severally. Accordingly, counsel for each party is financially responsible for ensuring timely payment for all mediation fees.

CANCELATION POLICY

If a mediation is cancelled or rescheduled less than three business days prior to the scheduled session, a cancellation fee equal to the minimum time (2 hours for a half day, 6 hours for a full day) will be charged to the parties. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the fee will be split equally among the parties. Please keep in mind, this cancellation policy is meant to fairly compensate KD Mediation for reserving the time scheduled for this mediation.

PAYMENT POLICY

An invoice for the mediation will be issued immediately following the mediation conference and is due upon receipt.
