The residential team at Farrer & Co is led by the ‘exceptional’ Laura Conduit. Clients praise the team for assisting ‘UHNWI clients and companies with discretion, style and class’. Other key members of the ’dynamic’ team include Laurie Horwood, who handles a broad array of complex and high-value residential property transactions. Edmund Fetherston-Dilke is well-versed in the full range of high-end residential and rural property matters. Hugh Wigzell is noted for his distinctive focus on high-value new build properties, and Annabel Dean is particularly recommended for her work on complex SPV deals and major transactions where the buyer purchases shares in a property owning company.
