Policies, Procedures & W9

  • How and Where

    Our goal is to facilitate communication and resolution, so we try to make the process as easy as possible:

    • Mediations may be held either via videoconference or in person. Once a mediation is booked, please wait until it is confirmed by our office.
    • Once it has been confirmed, our preference is to send the Engagement Letter and Zoom link to you as soon as possible- usually within a few days of confirmation.
    • If you wish, we can file the Notice of Mediation for you, so please let us know if you prefer that and provide the Style of the Case and the Certificate of Service. If you prefer to do the Notice of Mediation yourself, please send us a copy once it has been filed.
    • If you have any questions or objections to the terms of the engagement, please contact us in writing immediately at info@endeavormediation.com. Please note that until the mediation or arbitration is confirmed, that booking date is equally available to others.

    • Invoices will be delivered via email to each party’s attorney upon conclusion of the mediation.
    • Payment shall be due within 10 calendar days of receipt of the invoice. Payment can be made by credit card, ACH or via our website at the link above. Checks are also accepted via mail.

    • Pro se litigants must pay the minimum fee by cash, check or credit card before the mediation conference begins.

  • Conflicts & Objections

    • In the event you have any objection to the terms of engagement, please contact me immediately via e-mail. If you do not contact me, it will be assumed that those objections are waived. If the mediation is confirmed, it will be assumed that I am unaware of any potential conflicts of interest. If you are aware of any potential conflicts of interest, please advise me via email immediately or those conflicts will be considered waived.
