ADR Chambers UK prides itself on providing parties in dispute with a prompt, efficient and cost effective means of resolving their dispute - proportionate to the amount in dispute. To this end we operate two competitively priced fixed fee schemes utilising trained and accredited Mediators who provide their services under these schemes. Where parties wish to appoint a specific Mediator who does not operate under our fixed fee schemes, ADR Chambers UK will provide them with details of that Mediator’s fees and availability so they can make an informed choice.

Fixed Fee Scheme – Mediator to be appointed by ADR Chambers UK
Under this scheme the parties are required to provide us with a date for the mediation appointment and venue agreed by all parties at which stage we will appoint a trained and accredited Mediator from our Panel and write to the parties confirming the details. Based on the amount in dispute in the case the following fees are payable per party and include short preparation and up to the specified number of hours in mediation:

The above fees include ADR Chambers UK’s case management charge and are based on:
  • two parties participating in the mediation – in the case of three or more parties a discounted fee may be available and will be advised by ADR Chambers UK
  •  the amount in dispute is calculated as (a) the amount claimed and (b) the amount of any counterclaim combined. If in the course of the mediation process it appears that the amount in dispute is greater than the amount notified to ADR Chambers UK, we reserve the right to invoice the parties for any additional mediation fees which would have been payable in respect of such higher amount in dispute
  •  where there is no means of quantifying the amount in dispute ADR Chambers UK will attempt to assess this in consultation with the parties
  •  the above fees include short preparation time. If, due to the nature of the dispute or where parties provide an excessive amount of documentation, it is considered that preparation is likely to be excessive, ADR Chambers UK will inform the parties in advance that additional time will be charged at the appropriate hourly rate
  •  if the mediation appointment exceeds the allotted time additional time will be charged at the appropriate hourly rate
  •  where the appropriate mediation fee is based on an 8 hour mediation appointment but the parties agree to confine this to 4 hours, the fee will be based on two thirds of the appropriate mediation fee
  •  in appropriate cases mediator’s travel and related expenses will be charged
  •  VAT at the standard rate then in force will be charged on all fees
