Negotiate full and final settlements with the agreement of all parties
Sometimes an individual or business might feel the costs charged by their legal representative are unfair or unreasonable. Or you may be in dispute about the costs of an opposing party.
Legal professionals can also become involved in costs disagreements if their clients fail to pay or disagree about a fee structure.

Learn more about mediation
-
Mediation costs depend on factors like the type and complexity of the dispute, the time required and the number of parties involved. To make things easy, we offer a clear fixed-price fee structure with prices starting from £975 per party.
In most cases, mediation is typically more cost-effective than litigation as it will save you money in legal fees and court expenses.
-
The duration of mediation depends on the complexity of the issues and the willingness of participants to cooperate. Many disputes are resolved in one day, but some more complex cases may require longer. Whatever matter you need to resolve, we aim to keep the process efficient to save you time.
-

Mediation can happen at a neutral venue or online via video conferencing. We accommodate what works best for all parties involved, ensuring complete accessibility and comfort. Virtual mediation is particularly convenient for long-distance participants or those with scheduling challenges, while in-person sessions offer a more traditional setting.
-
Yes, every conversation that takes place during mediation is strictly confidential and takes place ‘without prejudice’. Anything discussed during the session remains private and cannot be disclosed without agreement from all parties. Confidentiality ensures that participants can speak openly and explore solutions without fear of repercussions. This privacy encourages honest dialogue and helps create a safe space for resolving disputes.
-
You are not required to have legal representation during a mediation, but a legal advisor present can be helpful as it ensures you fully understand your rights and options, which can make the process more effective.
-
If mediation does not lead to a full resolution, you are free to pursue other options, such as arbitration or court proceedings. Even without full agreement, mediation often helps to clarify matters or clear up misunderstandings, paving the way for smoother negotiations in the future.
