Join us in Geneva, a European hub offering banking, investment, trust and other wealth management services across the world. The longstanding tradition of local private banking, previous liens with various Anglo-Saxon countries, the solid infrastructure and a reliable Swiss politic and legal system have strongly contributed to this.

The seminar will mainly focus on trusts and their compatibility with continental legal systems. The programme will address a wide range of topics across many fields of law, including trust structures, related tax rulings and issues, real estate matters, and trust litigation, among others.

The seminar will attract numerous international and local lawyers, from a large number of countries in the world. It will be a great opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences with lawyers dealing with trusts and related legal topics, as well as to discover unknown aspects of the Calvinist Geneva.

See you in Geneva!
