"A very rare opportunity to discuss topical material issues with others in similar positions globally. It was interesting to hear that we have similar issues but other different approaches. I will take the discussions and learning away with me and consider other approaches I learnt."
Mandeep Mundae General Counsel, Head of Commercial IFM Investors London"In a beautiful setting it has been an absolute privilege to discuss real life issues with a group of seasoned legal professionals with deep experience of the infrastructure space. The format (2 evenings/2 days) is perfect and the size plus the fact that everyone attends the same sessions allowed honest and informed discussion on very relevant topics."
