Agreement of Parties
Mediation is a non-adversarial process in which a Mediator helps the parties negotiate a settlement. The clients, with their counsel’s guidance, remain in complete control, and ultimately decide whether and how a case will be resolved.
Process is Confidential
In order to facilitate open settlement discussions, all communications and records made in connection with mediation are protected from disclosure and may not be used as evidence in any judicial or administrative proceeding.
Additionally, the Mediator is not subject to subpoena and cannot be required to make disclosure through discovery or testimony at trial, except in very limited circumstances.
Costs
The costs of the mediation include an administrative fee of $250 per party, and an hourly fee as listed on the mediator’s agreement form. The parties split the mediation cost, but may agree as part of a settlement or otherwise that one party will pay 100% of the cost.
