Wolferstans’ Commercial Property team will be at UKREiiF 2025
We recognise that as the commercial property market continues to evolve, law firms need to stay ahead of emerging trends, regulatory changes, and investment opportunities, if we are to better meet the needs of our growing client base.
The UK Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) 2025, taking place in Leeds from 20-22 May, presents a unique opportunity for our team to engage directly with key stakeholders, expand our business network and position Wolferstans as a leading advisor in the property sector.
A focused UK market perspective
Wolferstans is focused on the South West and the support we deliver to businesses, investors, local authorities, public institutions, educational establishments and those seeking to lease, buy or develop property in the region.
With decades of experience, we provide not just legal expertise but a business-minded approach that makes us true commercial partners to our clients and that’s why our attendance at UKREiiF is important.
Unlike MIPIM in Cannes, which has a strong global investment focus, UKREiiF is dedicated to the UK real estate and infrastructure market. For regional law firms such as Wolferstans, with a primary interest in domestic clients, this provides a more relevant and targeted environment to connect with decision-makers who are directly involved in UK projects.
After a very successful event last year, Plymouth City Council and the Great South West will be at UKREiiF 2025 to again showcase the region's investment opportunities and highlight its role in the UK's economic growth in sectors such as food, farming, energy, defence and technology.
With other major UK cities, government representatives and industry leaders all in attendance, we expect our Commercial property team to make important connections, whilst gaining direct insight into upcoming development opportunities and policy shifts that will impact our clients.
Sector-specific insights to inform our strategy
Now in its third year in Leeds, UKREiiF 2025 will feature a large number of dedicated content stages, with presentations covering key areas such as regeneration and development, which will provide valuable insights into large-scale projects that will drive commercial property demand in the coming years across our region.
The Great South West will showcase major projects of national importance, offering significant investment opportunities, including Floating Offshore Wind in the Celtic Sea, Gravity Smart Campus in Somerset, the Plymouth & South Devon Freeport, and our leading Science Parks and innovation centres.
Our team will understand how new transport links and infrastructure investments will shape property values and investment opportunities throughout the region. Information we can assess and provide to our clients with critical legal commentary to help them make informed decisions.
The future of work and commercial space will be discussed by leading sector and industry commentators, with input from occupiers and landlords about the evolving demands for office and industrial spaces. This again is valuable for our clients to understand ahead of investment decisions they may make in Plymouth and the surrounding area.
These sessions will help strengthen our knowledge base, anticipate client challenges and provide even more strategic advice. It’s all part of the work we do to become a trusted adviser, providing seasoned advice and an efficient, reliable service for everything from straightforward matters to the most complex, high value commercial property transactions.
Long days will maximise our attendance
We recognise that attending UKREiiF is an investment in time, money and effort. But many of our SME and property investor clients will be unable to attend and will undoubtedly benefit from the valuable insights or potential opportunities our team will return with.
We are in the process of arranging meetings to schedule introductions with potential clients and industry contacts, whilst compiling a list of relevant sessions to attend. We have identified the presentations and panel discussions that will add value to future client conversations.
Conclusion
UKREiiF 2025 provides our Commercial Property team with a unique opportunity to gain direct access to market intelligence, key industry figures and of course, prospective clients – all with a focus on the UK market.
And with the success of the Plymouth and South Devon Freeport integral to the region’s ability to attract new businesses from further afield, including Australia, whilst enabling existing businesses to grow through sustainable means, we look forward to being part of their story.
The event aligns perfectly with our core strengths and will help position Wolferstans as a leading player in commercial real estate legal services in Plymouth and the wider South West region. So, whether you are attending UKREiiF in May or not, our team would welcome the opportunity to discuss any plans you have in the region, so please get in touch.
