Space to Create a Path Forward 

The process of mediation as a tool can allow space to resolve conflict, reduce tensions, and to empower individuals to create personalized agreements and/or outcomes. It is a tool to assist in reaching the agreement zone. 

The mediator facilitates the process. There is a beginning, middle and hopefully a conclusion in the form of an agreement. The process is confidential, and a participant may end the process at any time. Participants may be conferenced together or in separate rooms depending on circumstances. Remember, working through a dispute, a difference of viewpoint, or a separation is complicated. Different types of conflict generally may require different approaches. Normally, Mediate Finance LLC uses a facilitative process. The goal is to create a space where the participant is willing to engage so options can be formed, and possibilities for resolution can be seen.   

What to Expect

We offer a 20 minute consultation. If we move forward, a mediation agreement and an information sheet will be sent to participants.  A signed mediation agreement is required before scheduling session(s). 

We schedule three to two hour sessions using Zoom or a similar medium. We offer in person settings; there is an additional cost.  We tend to mediate matters with financial components or issues. This may be financial components within a larger matter or as a whole.  Examples of matters which we mediate are family estate planning or succession planning.  As well as, financial components of a buy/sell, buy-out, succession terms, dissolution or family business matters such as family probate disputes, trust matters.  We also create space for partners to work through business disagreements along with exits, or buy outs. 

We offer unique space for couples to reach agreement on financial matters, examples of areas are estate, financial planning, or the use of resources. 

Fee Structure

We charge an hourly rate of $250.00 along with a one time administration charge of $250.00 per participant, couples are charged one fee.  A retainer is requested to begin. 

Our mediations are normally a flow or a process and don’t fit into a set full day or half day experience.  Rather our mediations occur over time in two to three hour increments.  Time is charged for in and out of session time on the matter.
