Mediation Fees
Eleanor Barr’s rate is $400.00 per hour. This fee is usually divided between the parties, unless they agree to another arrangement. There is a one-time administrative fee of $100 per party.

Pre-Mediation Telephone Conferences
Feel free to call Eleanor to discuss whether a particular case is appropriate for mediation prior to scheduling. If a case is scheduled, you may call Eleanor to discuss any issues you may have concerning the mediation.

Mediation Briefs
Mediation briefs should be submitted five (5) business days before the mediation. Opposing counsel should provide Eleanor with a non-confidential brief and should exchange this brief with each other. Counsel may also submit a supplemental confidential letter to Eleanor if they would like to communicate confidential information prior to the mediation. It is recommended that counsel provide their brief and all opposing counsels’ briefs to their clients prior to the mediation.

Mediation Attendance
Mediations are most successful when the real decision-makers are present. Counsel should confirm with their client in advance who will attend the mediation.
