How quickly can mediation be arranged?
Mediation can be arranged at just a few hours notice. In practice, we recommend that some time is taken to prepare for the mediation (see ‘Guidance for clients preparing for mediation’ and ‘Guidance for solicitors preparing for mediation’ on this website). On average it is probably about two-three weeks between an initial enquiry and the mediation taking place. The most usual problem is getting the appropriate people in the same place at the same time.
