Fees are usually shared — your share is roughly half
In most mediations the fee is split equally between the two parties. A full-day mediation at $4,500 +GST typically costs each person around $2,475 all up — compared with $30,000–$150,000+ per side in contested litigation. We confirm the cost-sharing arrangement at your free initial consultation.
How does this compare with going to court?
A contested family law or commercial matter typically costs $30,000–$150,000+ per side in legal fees, takes one to three years, and offers no certainty of outcome. A full-day mediation shared between two parties costs each person around $2,475 — and around 90% of disputes we mediate resolve on the day. See the full cost comparison →
