Practical insight on construction contract management, dispute resolution and the procedures that protect your position.

What Our Clients Say

I have worked with Paul on a number of cases, and have found him to be knowledgeable, efficient and effective at resolving construction disputes. He has a strong commercial approach and is adept at guiding parties to a sensible resolution but is equally capable of taking a robust stance where needed.
Nick KaplanBarrister, 4 Pump Court
I found Paul to be an upbeat, sensible and helpful mediator operating in difficult circumstances. He seemed to identify the merits and sticking points quickly and built a good relationship with my client.
Gideon Scott-HollandBarrister, Keating Chambers, London
Mr Whittle conducted himself professionally in all respects, and I found him to be an effective mediator. In particular, I recall that he was able to inspire trust and confidence in my lay client and was comfortable talking about the technicalities and commercial realities of the underlying construction dispute. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Whittle.
John JessupBarrister, 3 Paper Buildings, London
I was impressed by the way in which he quickly established a business-like rapport with both the lay clients and professional advisers. He had evidently prepared well for the mediation and had a good grasp of the issues. I would be happy to use Paul as a mediator again, particularly in construction related matters.
James Fryer-SpeddingBarrister, 9 St. John Street, Manchester
Since receiving RICS evaluative mediator accreditation, it has been my great pleasure to assist Paul in a number of commercial mediations. In every instance he has demonstrated remarkable attention to detail, impartiality and problem-solving abilities that have provided the disputing parties and their advisers with practical guidance, giving them the best opportunity to resolve their differences swiftly and fully.
Kevin Potts MRICS MCIOBDirector, Axyom Limited
Paul was extremely helpful and knowledgeable when I was dealing with a dispute with a company and considering adjudication. His advice and approach were clear, practical, and gave me real confidence in the process. As a result of his involvement, the company paid with immediate effect before adjudication even began. I would highly recommend Paul and his professional, proactive approach to resolving disputes.
Russell WarrenOwner, Office Building Services
Paul helped us resolve a dispute with a client, which ultimately ended in our favor. Throughout the process, he was professional, clear in his advice, and very supportive. He has also helped us by checking and editing a few subcontract agreements, ensuring that the terms were clear, fair, and properly protected our interests. More importantly, Paul's involvement in developing our company's terms and conditions was invaluable. He drafted a comprehensive document for us that carefully incorporated both consumer regulations and construction industry requirements. Paul is incredibly helpful, responsive, and easy to contact whenever we have questions or need guidance. We would not hesitate to recommend him.
