The meeting that took six weeks to schedule.

Senior counsel, a medical expert, junior counsel, and the client — Whittle finds the time they can all make, without the email thread.

We don’t ask when you’re free. We eliminate when you’re not.

Launching September 2026 — ahead of the new legal term.

The problem

A partner at a Dublin firm needed four people in one room: senior counsel, a medical expert, junior counsel, and her client. It took six weeks. Every one of those weeks, someone was chasing, cross-referencing, apologising — and starting the thread again when someone dropped out.

That isn’t a scheduling problem. It’s a people problem dressed up as a scheduling problem. And it costs real money: fee-earner time, delay to the matter, client frustration.

Whittle exists because of that meeting.

How it works

  1. Create and tier.

    Name the meeting, set the window and the response deadline, add attendees as Must, Should or May.

  2. Attendees eliminate.

    Each person gets one link. No login, no account, nothing to install. They mark the days they can’t do — two minutes, on their phone. Whittle chases the stragglers so nobody in your office has to.

  3. Whittle ranks what survives.

    A Must conflict eliminates a slot. A Should conflict downgrades it. What’s left is ranked honestly — no scores invented, no guesswork.

  4. Confirm once.

    One click, and calendar invites land in everyone’s diary.

What your attendees see — one page, no login.

Must, Should, May

Not every attendee carries the same weight — Whittle is the first scheduling tool that knows it.

Must

The meeting can’t happen without them. Their conflicts eliminate slots outright.

Senior counsel. The expert witness. The client.

Should

Strongly preferred, not essential. Their conflicts lower a slot’s ranking but never kill it.

Junior counsel. The team solicitor.

May

Good to have in the room. Their availability helps break ties; their conflicts never count against a slot.

The trainee. The devil.

Tiers are visible only to you. Every attendee receives an identical link — nobody ever learns which tier they were placed in.

Ranked by who it works for

Every surviving slot, ordered by how well it fits the people who matter most — with any conflicts named. No invented scores, no percentages.
