Top finance experts from throughout Europe and beyond assembled this morning for the first day of the Swiss Finance Institute's International Wealth and Tax Planning Retreat in Lucerne, central Switzerland.
Participants in the 5 day residential seminar came to deepen their knowledge of international taxation and exchange experiences about serving the wealth management needs of high net worth individuals.
Leading the first day of the seminar was Marc-Etienne Pache (pictured, right), Partner at Oberson Avocats in Lausanne and Geneva. In the course of an interactive discussion with fellow Oberson tax expert Fouad Sayegh, Dr Pache detailed solutions for double taxation conflicts, including an up to the minute review of international wealth taxation law.
Later this week, the Retreat will hear presentations from various wealth and tax specialists including Dr. Kurt Moosmann, an expert in advising private entrepreneurs and business owners, and tax law polymath Philip Marcovici. CEO of Zurich-based LawInContext and Partner at Baker & McKenzie, Marcovici is an active member of the American and the Canadian bar association, and of the Canadian Tax Foundation in Switzerland.
