HILYER DISPUTE RESOLUTION

MEDIATION TERMS:

The agreement to render services is between Hilyer Dispute Resolution (“HDR”) and the attorney or representative of each of the participating parties.  Attorneys and client representatives are responsible for payment of their clients’ share of mediation costs by the date due and are advised to pre-collect the projected fees prior to the session date.  HDR is not responsible for obtaining payment from individual or business clients of attorney.  Written confirmation of the fee allocation and commitment to pay must be received prior to the final confirmation of scheduled time.

Where advanced fees are requested, fees for scheduled time are required at the time of session.  Additional fees, including fees for conference calls, session overrun time or additional preparation time, are due upon receipt of the invoice.

PROFESSIONAL MEDIATION RATES:

Administrative fees may be charged for ongoing cases or re-schedules. After-hours administrative fees of $75/hour (after business hours) will be charged if session is held at HDR offices.  A session date change fee of $500 will be charged for a session whose date is changed after the date has been confirmed with HDR and the HDR engagement letter has been sent to Counsel.
