The below is a guide to mediation costs and are quoted on a per party basis.

1. ADR Group believes:

• Mediation should be accessible to all claims of all sizes
• Parties should also be able to elect the mediator based on the level of  experience required and pay a fee commensurate with that level
• Cases should be dealt with quickly and professionally by our expert team
  

2. The amount in dispute will be calculated as (i) the value of the claim or (ii) any counterclaim, whichever is greater. If during a mediation, it becomes apparent that the amount in dispute is higher than the amount notified to ADR Group, we reserve the right to invoice the relevant party(ies) for the additional mediation fees payable.

3. The categories of Mediator Experience are based on the number of mediations each mediator has conducted under the auspices of ADR Group:

B performed 0-8 mediations
A performed 8+ mediations
A* highly experienced

4. Basis of the fee structure:

• The fee is based per party on a 2 party dispute
• In cases involving 3 or more parties, an uplift of 15% per party will be charged. Multi party disputes will be costed on a per case basis
• The fee covers an 8hr mediation and ADRg's case handling charge
• In additional mediation time charged at an hourly rate (B£250, A£350, A*£350)

• Where possible the mediation takes place at mediator's premises
• A charge will be levied for the mediator's travel expenses and associated costs where appropriate
• ½ day mediations (4 hours) can be arranged at 2/3rd's of daily rate
