The Guernsey and Isle of Man offices of leading offshore law firm Appleby will be represented at the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) Global Congress.
The Congress was launched in Miami in 2014 as a biennial conference and saw 400 industry professionals from 45 countries attend. This year’s event has moved from North America to Europe and will be held in Amsterdam on 30 June and 01 July and is expected to attract even greater numbers.
The Congress is an opportunity for trust and estate experts to explore topical issues in the industry, as well as a chance to network and exchange ideas with practitioners from around the world. During the two-day event more than 20 speakers will discuss a variety of topics, including US taxation and estate planning, state boundary disputes and treaties, and corporate law.
Gavin Ferguson, the Managing Partner and Private Client and Trusts Group Head at Appleby’s Guernsey office, will be attending the STEP Global Congress.
Gavin said: “Events like STEP Global Congress are invaluable; the speakers are experts in their field and speak on fascinating topics, ensuring attendees are well-informed on important industry changes and challenges. The networking events are vital for making new contacts and discussing new ideas, so David and I will be able to take a lot away from the Congress.”
David Pytches, Counsel in Appleby’s Private Client and Trust Team in the Isle of Man, will join Gavin at the Congress.
He said: “As a longstanding STEP member, events such as the Congress provide tremendous value, providing an opportunity to discuss the latest developments in trust and estate matters, as well as meeting industry colleagues from across the globe. This promises to be another informative STEP event, covering a wide variety of specialist subjects and important topics. In order to provide the highest standard of service to our clients, it is vital to have the most contemporary information available, and this Congress will be an excellent opportunity to access and discuss the latest developments.”
