Event Overview

AIJA/INSOL Europe Young Members Group (YMG) Joint Conference: “Exploring the perks and the limitations of group restructuring”

A global economy involves many actors from the same group of companies, which can become an advantage or a disadvantage when it comes to restructuring the group. Join us to explore group restructuring, during which we will dissect and inspect this complex topic from various angles: national and international legislation framework, financing, industry-specific issues (such as domino effects in the supply chain, etc.), current trends, court cases and many more.

The event is organised in cooperation with the Young Member Group of INSOL Europe and AIJA. This is our third in-person joint event and we are confident that it will be as memorable as in Mallorca in 2019 (1st edition) and Seville in June 2023 (2nd edition). The seminar will take place in Girona, Spain. Girona will be an ideal place to discuss group restructuring during the academic program and enjoy the beauties of the city during the social program. Join us now and take part in this life-changing journey!

Joint Tax and SCILL Summer Seminar 2025 - “Taxation of Startups and Innovative Companies: Navigating the Future”

Join us for a specialised seminar hosted by the AIJA Tax Commission, focusing on the intricacies of tax law for startups and innovative companies. Scheduled from June 12th to June 14th, 2025, in the picturesque city of Girona, this event will provide essential insights for effective compliance and strategic planning in the realm of startup taxation.

The sessions will explore the various challenges and opportunities that arise from the taxation of both startups and innovative companies and investors, providing attendees with a comprehensive understanding of this evolving landscape. Our expert speakers will cover a range of critical topics, including tax incentives, venture capital taxation, intellectual property, cross-border taxation, and R&D tax credits.

One of the highlights of the seminar will be an interactive session, offering a valuable opportunity to practice audit skills and deepen your understanding of the legal nuances involved. This interactive session is designed to enhance your audit capabilities and provide practical, hands-on experience in managing real-world scenarios. In addition to the rich professional content, participants will have ample opportunities to network with fellow practitioners and industry leaders, fostering connections that will be valuable long after the seminar concludes.

Enjoy the beautiful setting of Girona, with its rich historical charm and vibrant modern culture, while enhancing your expertise in the critical area of taxation. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with peers dedicated to navigating the challenges of innovative company taxation and to develop the skills necessary for success in this field.
