Early neutral evaluation

Early neutral evaluation (ENE)is a preliminary assessment of facts, evidence or legal merits. This process is designed to serve as a basis for further and fuller negotiations, or, at the very least, help parties avoid further unnecessary stages in litigation.

The parties appoint an independent person who expresses an opinion on the merits of the issues specified by them. It is a non-binding opinion but provides an unbiased evaluation on relative positions and guidance as to the likely outcome should the case be heard in court.

CEDR Solve can advise you on the most appropriate evaluator for your dispute, establish a timetable for written submissions, replies and oral submissions as appropriate, manage the exchange of documentation, set up meetings as necessary and liaise with all parties involved in the process.
