IAP International Associate Program 2024
Private Clients

Dear All,

The second International Associate Program for tax-focused private client lawyers (IAP Private Clients) on May 16th-18th 2024, hosted by POELLATH in Berlin, is approaching quickly.

As last year, we adhere to the principle of one law firm per country, so that we have no direct competitors at the event. Most of the attending associates have reached a certain level of experience, so that we look forward to enlightening discussion, like we already observed last year. We are honoured to add Brasil as a South American representative to the list of our participating countries! Also, two colleagues of JP Morgan will add the perspective of wealth planners.

The social part will not be neglected – this year, the boat trip will take us to nearby Müggelsee, passing the Old Town of Köpenick. Dinner and drinks will be served on board.

Suggested dresscode for the event: Smart casual

All further details can be found below. We wish everybody nice travels to Berlin! Do not hesitate to contact us in case of any questions.

Best regards and see you in Berlin
