That will depend on the complexity of the issues, the length of the hearing, and the standing of the mediator. The parties will generally agree to bear the costs of the mediator equally. As a general rule, you should assume mediator's costs of at least £750 per party for a half-day mediation, and at least £1,200 per party for a full day. There may be additional expenses, such as the hire of rooms as a venue for the mediation. If you choose to use solicitors or a barrister, you will also need to pay their costs for preparing for and attending the mediation.
