Fees

Brighter future mediation is proud to be one of the most cost-effective services in the UK as we’re committed to making mediation accessible. Unlike most services, we do not charge extra for signing of court forms. The only cost is time with the Mediator. Since we are independent, and not linked to Solicitors, we are invested in supporting you to avoid costly legal fees.
