Dear All

The fourth International Associate Program for tax-focused private client lawyers (IAP Private Clients) on May 28th-30th 2026, hosted by POELLATH, is approaching quickly. This year, we will meet for the first time in Frankfurt!

As in previous years, we adhere to the proven principle of one law firm per country, so that we have no direct competitors at the event.

The schedule will broadly follow the scheme we already had in the past years. We will keep up the concept of having panel discussions as well as case studies in smaller groups.

As last year, we charge a modest participation fee of EUR 590 (net, per participant). This will include the participation at the event, food and drinks during the complete event. We appreciate your understanding. The fee will be waived for all participants from outside Europe. In this case, please use the coupon code “IAPFrankfurt2026” for 100% discount.

Again, we would be happy to welcome up to two associates from your team/firm with experience in tax-focused private client work to represent your country. As you already know, we aim at having advanced (senior) associates with several years of experience, so that substantive discussions may evolve. Last year we were proud to see that about 50% of the participants returned from the year before. At the same time, we welcomed many new faces who enriched the group. – We would be very happy, if you could nominate your representative(s) until February 15th 2026.

We will provide you with further information regarding the final composition of the program and the technical panels in the coming weeks.

Do not hesitate to contact us in case of any questions!

Best regards and see you in Frankfurt,
Andreas / Marcus / Jan / Caroline
