Early Neutral Evaluation
Quick case insight
What early neutral evaluation is
Early neutral evaluation is a short, focused review of a dispute by a neutral person. I look at the facts and give a clear view of strengths, risks and likely outcomes. This helps parties see what might happen if they go further.
It’s quick and private, so you avoid long, costly processes while getting a realistic picture of your options. That makes planning easier and helps decide whether mediation, negotiation or another route is best.
Who benefits from this service
This service suits people and businesses who want a clear, early steer on a dispute. If you’re not sure whether to mediate, negotiate, or take formal steps, a neutral view often saves time and money.
It also helps teams and managers see the practical risks and make choices with a clearer head, so actions are smarter and less reactive.
What you get and next steps
I provide a short written note that explains the main issues, likely outcomes, and recommended next steps. We discuss the note together so everyone understands the view and its basis.
From there you can pick mediation, direct negotiation, or another path. The aim is to give clear options so you can move forward with confidence.
