Forum Overview

The Forum is an exclusive gathering that will bring together a group of up to 44 highly respected, multi-disciplinary trusted advisors to Ultra-High-Networth (UHNW) families for private discussions on the complex, emerging and evolving pressures facing international families on mobility or relocation and its implications on tax and estate planning.

 

Using candid, peer-driven discussion, the group tackles high-priority topics by drawing from the collective experience of deep thinkers and leading lights in their fields - those who assist families achieve their long-term priorities and goals.
