ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION

Mediations will be conducted by Zoom video conferencing unless otherwise agreed. Brief mediation statements are requested consistent with any applicable court order, or absent court order, must be received one week prior to the scheduled mediation and sent via email to peter@pkmediation.com. The brief mediation statement should contain what you feel are pertinent facts, disputed issues, pending motions, and a history of settlement negotiations, along with the current settlement posture. If you wish, you may provide me with records, reports, or other documents that you think are particularly significant in the case.

Bills for mediation fees will be emailed to the parties after the mediation conference is concluded and are payable upon receipt. Please note that while you may invoice your client for reimbursement or forward the invoice to your client for direct payment, my mediation services have been retained by you and your firms, and you and your firms are ultimately responsible for the payment of the invoice rendered. Any charges not paid within 30 days will accrue interest at the highest rate allowed by law.
