Clients will typically pay 1,000 to 2,000 pounds sterling a day, with hearings typically lasting a couple of days, rather than incurring legal bills that can run into six figures. The Centre for Dispute Resolution (CEDR) is the leading proponent of the concept in the UK, having 400 trained mediators, handling around 15 cases a month.
