Mediation time and cost

Mediation sessions generally last 1 1/2 hours each. The number of sessions will depend on the issues: 5 or 6 sessions are not uncommon, but more or less may be needed. They may take place at approximately fortnightly intervals or as otherwise agreed.
Our charges for mediation sessions and for interim work (including for example drafting summaries) are £220 per hour plus VAT (£253 inclusive of VAT) shared equally between the couple or as otherwise agreed.
These fees are payable at the end of each session.
Clients may be eligible for publicly funded mediation through the services contract with the Legal Services Commission. This may mean that mediation is at no charge to either or both of the clients to the service. We will provide details on request.
