Kevin Potts

Kevin practices as a civil & commercial mediator and specialises in the resolution of construction and engineering disputes using facilitative and evaluative methods.

He is accredited by the RICS, is certified by the CMC and is a member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitration. He practices privately and from time to time within the Royal Courts of Justice.

Kevin believes the key advantage of mediation is its flexibility and efficiency.

Unlike court or arbitration proceedings, mediations are often completed within a single day, substantially reducing legal costs and associated expenses. This is particularly beneficial in commercial disputes, where delays in resolving issues can have a significant impact on ongoing projects and relationships between the parties, and where maintaining relationships is especially important to parties that need to continue working together on current or future projects.

Mediation Experience

Chartered Quantity Surveyor (MRICS), Founder and Executive Director of Axyom Limited, a strategy-led construction consultancy established to respond to the demand for experienced commercially-minded board-level business leaders.

My services include tailored project consulting, commercial strategy, dispute avoidance & management, business strategy/governance/risk, leadership & culture.

With over three decades of experience working in Tier 1 construction, property, refurbishment and fit-out sectors, I work with industry professionals to maximise commerciality, elevate good working practice and evolve culture.

I also practice as an RICS and CMC accredited evaluative mediator, including from time to time within the Royal Courts of Justice.

Mediation Style

I am known for my pragmatic style and win-win approach to mediation. As an evaluative mediator, I work with the parties to fully explore options and apply robust reality testing to help the parties reach workable, shared solutions.
