Common Questions
Who pays the fee?
The company or the owners together — always as agreed in writing by every owner. We never accept payment from one side alone.
How long does it take?
Rapid Response is completed within 10 days. The timeline for mediation depends on the number of owners and issues, and is set out in writing before it begins.
Do you charge success fees?
Never. Our fee is fixed and does not change based on the outcome or on who receives what.
What if the owners do not reach agreement?
You pay only the fixed fee for the stage you engaged. There is no additional charge, and every owner keeps all of their legal options.
