CEDR Solve select - Mediation fees

CEDR Solve's mediation fees under the Solve Select service are calculated as follows:
  • Instruction fee £250 per party; plus
  • Mediation fee based on an hourly rate of between £200 and £500, split between the parties. When calculating the fee, CEDR Solve takes into account:
    • number of parties involved
    • amount in dispute between parties
    • required mediator preparation time (usually 2.5 hours per party)
    • seniority of mediator
    • any other relevant matters, such as timeframe for set-up and complexity of the matter.
The mediation fee is normally quoted on the basis of a 10-hour mediation day (or 8 hours for smaller cases). VAT and expenses are additional.


Examples:

  • A two-party dispute between a retailer and manufacturer over unpaid invoices amounting to £45,000 was recently settled by a CEDR Solve mediator in a single day for a total fee of £2,120, split equally between the parties.
  • A two-party dispute between a local authority and a builder over a £270,000 construction contract was settled by a CEDR Solve mediator in a single day for a total fee of £4,425, split equally between the parties.
  • A two-party £2.2 million dispute between a main contractor and subcontractor about the construction of a power plant was settled by a CEDR Solve mediator in a single day for a total fee of £6,800, split equally between the parties. CEDR Solve always agrees the basis of pricing with clients before the mediation.
