How the Early Neutral Evaluation Process Works

To encourage parties to obtain an objective evaluation before litigation costs escalate, Román Dispute Resolution offers Early Neutral Evaluations at a reduced rate for employment and workplace disputes.

An Early Neutral Evaluation (ENE) is not mediation. It is a confidential, non-binding evaluation designed to help parties understand the strengths, weaknesses, risks, and likely outcomes of their claims and defenses before investing substantial time and expense in litigation or arbitration.

The evaluation is tailored to your needs. It may range from a streamlined evaluation based on written submissions and oral presentations to a more comprehensive mock arbitration. The scope, format, and level of formality are customized to fit the objectives, complexity, and budget of the case.

Whether the goal is to evaluate settlement positions, test legal theories, assess litigation risk, or obtain an experienced neutral's candid perspective, Román Dispute Resolution will design an early neutral evaluation that meets your needs.
