Neutral Evaluation is a process that lets each side present written and oral summaries of its case to a “neutral” person, called “evaluator”.

Note: NE is different from mediation. Therefore, parties present their cases to a neutral third party (Usually an experienced lawyer or law firm with substantive area of the dispute) who renders a non-binding reasoned evaluation. In NE, lawyers and their clients get to hear independent feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of their case. An ENE agreement (Early neutral evaluation), if reachable, can safeguard against unnecessary litigation accompanied by costs and unwanted publicity

Arbitration is a method of resolving disputes outside of court. Parties refer their disputes to an arbitrator who reviews the evidence, listens to the parties’, and then makes a decision based on what he has reviewed and heard. Arbitration, basically is a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution, the arbitrator should be an impartial third party, which is chosen by the parties to listen to their case. There are two forms of arbitration: Binding and Nonbinding. Under binding arbitration, the parties agree to accept the arbitrator’s decision as final, limiting their right to seek resolution of the dispute by a court. Under nonbinding arbitration, the arbitrator(s) will make a decision, which is not final or legally binding.

International arbitration addresses cases between parties usually located in two different countries. This is known to be most common form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). International arbitration is similar to domestic court litigation, but instead of taking place before a domestic court it takes place before private adjudicators knows as arbitrators. It is a consensual, neutral, binding, private and enforceable means of international dispute resolution. It is faster and less expensive for both parties’ involved. International arbitration can be used to resolve any dispute that is considered to be “arbitrable”. Companies frequently include (IA) agreements in their commercial contracts with other businesses, so if a dispute arises with respect to the agreement, they are obligated to arbitrate rather than pursue traditional court litigation.
