Fees & Cancellation Policy
Mediation
Carey is available for full or half day mediation, offered virtually through video conference from the comfort of your home. In-person mediation may be available by request. Mediation is typically booked for one full day, though more than one day may be required. This will depend on the complexity of the issues and the willingness to work towards a resolution.
Rates for mediation are:
$900 (tax included) for a full-day (6 hour), 2-party session
$500 (tax included) for a half day (3 hour), 2-party session
A free 30-minute consultation is available for each party prior to engaging in the process.
These rates are designed to be an affordable alternative to other mediation services (which can run in the thousands of dollars for a day-long session).
Additional rates may apply if more than 2 parties are required to be in attendance.
A non-refundable deposit of $450 per scheduled day of mediation is required in order to book the mediation; a non-refundable deposit of $250 is required for a half-day session. The remaining balance is due prior to the start of each session.
Following your booking, Carey will send you a Mediation Agreement, which must be signed by all the parties and submitted prior to the first session.
Cancellations
All cancellation or rescheduling requests must be in writing and received by Carey Graham before the applicable time:
If the mediation is cancelled, adjourned or postponed more than 14 days prior to the scheduled date for the mediation, there will be no cancellation fee, but the deposit is still non-refundable.
For coaching, there is a 48 hour cancellation policy. Cancellations or rescheduling within 48 hours, or missed appointments, may be billed in full.
For mediation, there is a one week (7 day) cancellation policy. Cancellations or rescheduling within 7 days of the scheduled mediation date will be billed in full for the mediation session.
These policies and cancellation timelines are required to ensure fairness to all parties, reflecting the time required for all parties to prepare for a mediation and to encourage proactive engagement with the process by all involved.
Fees include the mediator’s preparation; additional fees may apply if preparing for a complex matter is determined to require additional time. This will be determined following your initial consultation.
Each party remains responsible for their half of the mediation fee unless the parties agree otherwise.
Conflict Coaching
Carey offers one-on-one virtual conflict coaching, anywhere in the world using Google Teams.
The hourly rate for coaching is $125 per person. Tax is included.
Coaching is typically booked on an hourly basis. A deposit is not required, but there is a 48-hour cancellation policy otherwise the appointment may be billed in full.
Method of Payment
Preferred method of payment is via e-transfer to: carey.graham@gmail.com.
Additional Fees
Should additional time be required, an additional half-day or full-day mediation may need to be booked with an additional 50% deposit required at the time of booking.
If in-person mediation is requested, the cost of the venue, parking, catering, or any additional requests will be subject to additional charges. There is no additional charge to proceed virtually by video conference.
Any questions or concerns regarding fees, disbursements or charges should be addressed at the time of booking.
