If you are going to immerse yourself in the world of private client law, there can surely be few better places to do it that in the luxurious surroundings of the Villa D’Este hotel on the shores of Lake Como in Italy. At least then you get an (albeit brief) insight into what it is actually like to be loaded.
This is the venue of Legal Week’s Private Client Legal Forum, which is now in its fourth year. The event brings together private client lawyers from across the globe – more than 25 jurisdictions this year – to discuss their work advising the rich and famous. Unsurprisingly, the boom in corporate work is having a knock on effect in this sector. There is a large amount of money sloshing around and the people into whose hands much of it is concentrated need advice on what to do with it. Or rather, how to keep hold of it.
