Cancellation made less than 72 hours before the scheduled mediation will incur a fee equal to 50% of the quoted mediation fee. At the mediator’s discretion, this fee may be waived for weather, sickness or other unforeseen events, or if the mediation is rescheduled within a reasonable time.

The mediation fee is due from each party 7 days before the scheduled date of mediation. Mediation will not commence until we have received payment and a signed Agreement to Mediate from all parties and counsel. Failure to pay the mediation fee in advance of the mediation will result in cancellation.

We require counsel for each party to submit a 1–2-page confidential mediation statement at least three days before mediation. The statement should outline strengths, weaknesses, prior barriers to settlement, and the desired outcome. In some cases, we may schedule pre-mediation calls to help facilitate more efficient discussions.

Mediations are typically held at Engage Workspace for Lawyers, located at 8150 N. Central Expressway, 10th Floor, Dallas, TX 75206. If all parties prefer an off-site location, we can arrange it for an additional fee to cover time and travel expenses.

Most mediations are held during standard business hours, but we can accommodate weekend sessions when needed for an additional fee.

Yes. If both parties prefer, we can accommodate Zoom mediations. However, we’ve found that in-person sessions typically foster more effective negotiation and personal interaction.

There are many hotels in Dallas; however, we recommend the DoubleTree Hotel located adjacent to our building. In addition to offering upscale accommodations, this hotel makes it easy to walk to the mediation facility.

You’ll find plenty of convenient parking right outside The Gild at 8150 N. Central Expressway in Dallas. We’re on the 10th floor.
