Our Approach

Whether providing project management support or expert advice to assist our clients to avoid formal dispute proceedings, or acting as expert witnesses in the event that formal proceedings cannot be avoided, our desire is to offer high quality technical services together with added value and which is testified by our many clients and instructing solicitors both inside the GCC and internationally.

To this end, we provide not only full-service support but also options of remote or in-situ expert direction or integration within our client’s organizations to add value by, not only reducing the costs normally associated with assisting experts and consultants, but by identifying and utilizing under our close support and direction, the expertise within a client’s own organization. Ultimately this leads to expanding the knowledge, skillset and capability of our client’s own staff which assists in the avoidance of disputes and/or the effective management of disputes on future projects.

From the Founder

BRYN G WISEMAN - Founder of Fractal Consulting

Message from

Bryn G Wiseman

To our valued Clients,

As CEO and founder of Fractal Consulting, I welcome you to our newly designed website.

Long before, and since our launch in 2016, I, and my colleagues, have endeavored to cultivate relationships with clients where their needs would define our goals.

In nearly every case, the relationships which I, and our experts, have with our clients, their advisors and their legal representatives have been in place for many years and far beyond completion of the project or dispute on which we were originally engaged.

In addition, I have been delighted to receive referrals and testimonials not only from past and present clients, but also from those we engage with during the provision of our expert services, from Queens Counsel and Legal Representatives to fellow Subject Matter Experts and Tribunal members.

This is a very clear testament, not just to the quality of work we do, but also to the value which we add to the process, the parties, their legal teams and of course the tribunal members.

Our approach has lifted us from our respective leadership roles within international consultancies to the position where we stand today, as a company with a growing portfolio and loyal client base, comprised of experts with significant experience and whom are well recognised and respected within the regions in which we operate.
