Cost of Mediation and Legal Aid

Cost of Mediation

The cost of the initial Mediation Information & Assessment Meeting (MIAM) is £120 and the cost of mediation is £150 per person per hour; no VAT to be added to any of our charges. 

Further information about costs can be provided on request and full information about costs will be provided at the MIAM.

Government Mediation Voucher Scheme

Currently we can assist eligible clients to apply for a Government Mediation Voucher worth up to £500 per family towards total mediation costs. The £500 Voucher will be shared equally between the clients so each client receives a £250 credit towards their mediation costs. Currently Government Mediation Vouchers are only available where issues for mediation include disputes relating to children.

Apology – Legal Aid

Legal Aid is still available for mediation, but we no longer offer legally aided mediation. We are very sorry that we have had to make the decision to withdraw from our legal aid contract. The reason for our withdrawal from legal aid is that it is our understanding the Government and the Legal Aid Agency have not increased the pay rates for legally aided mediation since legal aid for mediation was introduced in 1997 over 25 years ago. In these circumstances, we can no longer afford to offer legally aided mediation.
