Five to Nine Parties- $850 an hour, split equally among the parties.
Ten or more Parties- $950 an hour, split equally among the parties, or $50 per party, per hour, whichever is greater.
A “party” is defined as one or more persons or entities who have a common interest and who are represented by a single attorney or firm.
Minimum Fee: For half day mediations, there is a three and a half (3.5) hour minimum charge. For full day mediations, there is a seven (7) hour minimum charge. Time is billed in quarter hour increments.
BILLING MATTERS
Travel Time and Expenses: For travel of more than sixty miles from downtown Bradenton, Florida, there will be a charge of $250/hour for travel time (portal to portal) divided equally by the number of parties. In addition, when necessary to attend an out-of-town mediation, airfares, lodging, rental cars, parking and meals will be billed at their actual cost.
Payment: Law firms and lawyers (not their clients), will be billed and are responsible for the mediation bill. Payment is due upon receipt of invoice, and is not conditioned on settlement, receipt of settlement funds or payment by a client.
Past due bills will accrue interest at the highest legal rate and will result in additional charges for time and fess spent on collection.
Pro Se litigants must make arrangements for advance payment based upon the anticipated charges or for payment to be made at the conclusion of the mediation.
CANCELLATION POLICY
If the mediation is cancelled or rescheduled less than 21 calendar days prior to the scheduled session, each party will be billed for their portion of the minimum fee, which shall be three and a half (3.5) hours per party for half-day mediations and seven (7) hours per party for full-day mediations.
Clients are respectfully reminded that the cancellation policy is meant as fair compensation for reserving time, which typically cannot fill in less than 3 weeks. In order for our office to remain neutral, the minimum fee will be charged equally between all parties (unless otherwise agreed upon), regardless of who cancelled the session or why it was cancelled (even if it is being rescheduled). All cancellations should be communicated in writing with the agreement of all parties and counsel, if any, noted.
