Frequently Asked Questions
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where a neutral third party — the mediator — helps disputing parties communicate and negotiate. The mediator doesn't impose a decision; instead, they guide the conversation toward a mutually agreed resolution. Both parties retain control of the outcome.
Mediation through FairSquare starts at $299 flat rate. Pricing varies based on the complexity and value of the dispute. You'll see exact pricing during intake before committing. No hourly billing, no surprise fees.
Mediation itself is non-binding — neither party is forced to accept any outcome. However, if both parties reach an agreement, it can be documented in a formal settlement agreement, which is then legally binding and enforceable.
If mediation doesn't result in a settlement, you still have options. You can escalate to arbitration through FairSquare, pursue other legal remedies, or continue informal negotiation. Nothing said in mediation can be used against you in subsequent proceedings.
Most FairSquare mediations are resolved within 14 days of filing. Simple cases can conclude faster. The timeline depends on the complexity of the dispute and the responsiveness of both parties.
