WELCOME

// 2www.russianwealthzurich.comRussian Wealth Advisors Forum 2017

Dear colleague,

Welcome to the 3rd Russian Wealth Advisors Forum organised by Withers LLP and Adam Smith Conferences.

With the CRS rules coming into force and Europe and America prolonging sanctions on Russia the environment for profession-als advising wealthy Russians continues to be challenging.

To address these and many other topical is-sues, we are gathering top private client law-yers, private bankers, tax advisors and family offices at this prestigious Forum in Zurich.

We will deal extensively with various aspects of the exchange of information, disclo-sure and what planning techniques are available to the clients. We will also address immigration, succession planning, con-fidentiality and disclosure, cyber securi-ty and many other relevant topics.

This Forum also offers excellent networking opportunities and this year we are adding more formats to make networking even more productive.

We look forward to seeing you in Zurich on 1-2 February!
