With courtrooms backed up indefinitely, the option of settlement through mediation is more valuable than ever.

The benefit of a successful mediation is not just an earlier settlement, but also the opportunity to preserve relationships.

The Bar Association of San Francisco’s (BASF) Bay Area Mediation Services are easy to use, cost-effective, and very quick to schedule.

Through August 31, BASF members (and the other parties) may participate in the program for a reduced price of $250 per party, a $45 discount.

For this fee, parties receive:

• Two hours of mediation
• One hour of mediation preparation
• Professional, helpful staff to contact the other party about mediating, if needed
• Your choice of experienced mediators
• Professional, helpful staff to match qualified mediators to the area of law
• Prompt administrative support throughout the process

Most BASF mediators are proficient in Zoom mediations, a critical tool while in-person meetings are not viable.
