In this week’s Estates Gazette Guy Fetherstonhaugh QC and Oliver Radley-Gardner celebrate the rich history of an industry institution, as some of the nation’s finest minds and sharpest wits prepare for the 40th appearance of the Blundell Lectures on the legal calendar.
Named in honour of Lionel Blundell, an authority on leasehold law, the lectures bring together leaders in their field to uncover the challenges facing the property profession, and never fail to deliver the highest level of oratory.
