How Much Does Mediation Cost?

 

Mediation costs are far lower than the costs of going to court, and you can save thousands through mediation.


Many cases which do not need a whole day and can be resolved in a short period of time.

Some may have a planned 4-hour time limit, whilst others which are more complicated and may need longer.


What ever the time period chosen for each case the parties will focus on that time period to utilise the mediation.
