Lex Witness 5th Annual Edition of The Real Estate & Construction Legal Summit 2016

After having completed 4 successful editions, Lex Witness proudly presents The 5th Annual Edition of
The Real Estate & Construction Legal Summit 2016 scheduled to be on 27th May 2016, Le Meridien,
New Delhi.
The Indian Real Estate & Construction sector has ever since been one of the most magnanimous fabrics of
the India Inc. However, the sector has seen crippled times in the recent past where it went through a
serious crunch of a major reputational loss from all corners. Right from the developers’ end to the
consumer, there have been sagas of mistrust and gloomy times all across. But was that all that the sector
could have in its fate that is expected to touch US$ 180 billion by 2020?
