Mediation Fees and Terms
Afsana offers competitive rates for her mediation services, with fees varying according to the practice area, complexity of the dispute, and the time required to complete the mediation. Please contact Afsana directly for specific information about her rates.
Fee Structure
Fees include preparation time and materials. Please note that facility rental charges, reasonable travel, accommodation and other expenses are not included in the quoted fees and will be charged separately. Meeting facilities should include a breakout room (depending on the number of parties) and a flip chart. If additional preparation time is required beyond the standard allowance, extra fees may apply. These charges will be pre-determined during the engagement stage.
All payment terms will be included in the Terms of Engagement (T&E), which must be signed by each party to the service provided.
Submission and Engagement
All mediation briefs must be submitted at least seven (7) days prior to the mediation date. Late submissions may result in little or no preparation, for which the mediator will take no responsibility.
Upon booking, GC Mediation and Training will provide a T&E, which must be signed by all parties and submitted before or on the day of the mediation. Any changes to the T&E, whether before or during the mediation, should be discussed directly with Afsana. If a half-day mediation extends to a full day, a new T&E will need to be signed. All parties to the mediation of training services and jointly and severally liable to the terms of engagement policies.
