services and rates

Deposits

All mediations must be funded by advance deposits equal to the applicable flat rate prior to the scheduled Mediation session. Deposits are held securely in a non-interest-bearing trust account, and will be applied to the account when invoiced, in addition to any overtime, venue or catering charges that may apply. Deposits for mediation sessions that are cancelled more than 30 days prior to the Mediation will be returned in full to the payors. Deposits for mediations that are cancelled after the no-fee cancellation deadline will be applied first to the cancellation fee, with any remainder returned to the payors.

All arbitrations and hybrid arbitrations must be funded by advance deposits based on the Arbitrator’s estimate of time required for the hearing. Deposits are held securely in a non-interest-bearing trust account. Further deposits may be requested as necessary. Any amount held on deposit above the amount charged will be returned to the parties. Deposits for arbitration dates that are cancelled more than 30 days before the scheduled hearing date(s) will be first applied to the arbitrator’s time incurred to date, and the remainder will be returned to the payors. Deposits for arbitration dates that are cancelled after the no-fee cancellation deadline will first be applied to the cancellation fee and time incurred to date, with any remainder returned to the payors.

Deposits may be paid by cheque payable to Keenberg & Company Professional Corporation In Trust, or by wire transfer (with details to be provided upon request).
