Richard Isham, President of TELFA, a member of the Board of USLAW  and Partner at Wedlake Bell, comments:


“This is a really exciting time for Wedlake Bell and for TELFA as demand continues to increase for specialist real estate offerings. The  Conference was an excellent opportunity to discuss the timely topic of investment in the real estate sector from a variety of perspectives and debate the implications of Brexit on the property market. It is also very encouraging to hear that London remains a truly global city notwithstanding the uncertainty created by Brexit."
