Notre Dame London Law at 50: Foreign Law in Real Estate Practice
6:00 p.m. Registration and welcome drinks
6:30 p.m. Lecture
7:30 p.m. Reception
Kicking off this year’s celebrations of Notre Dame London Law at 50, Thomas Patrick Dore Jr. discusses ‘The Importance of Foreign Law in Real Estate Practice: Lessons from the United Kingdom and the United States’.
With modern real estate transactions having become increasingly transnational in character, the practitioner is expected not only to have a good understanding of the laws of different jurisdictions but also to apply the lessons of good practice from one jurisdiction to another.
In this lecture, Thomas Patrick Dore Jr. will draw on over 30 years’ experience in real estate practice to assess the importance of cross-jurisdictional lessons. He will focus mainly but not exclusively on lessons from real estate transactions in the UK and the US.
Please note that while this lecture and reception are free to attend, registration is essential.
