The aim of the conference is to supply providers, clients and investigators of offshore products and services with credible and up-to-date information to help them make better-informed decisions.

“It is the first of what will be an annual conference in Europe, in addition to our Miami event which focuses mainly on the Bermuda-Caribbean offshore jurisdictions,” said OffshoreAlert publisher David Marchant. “From now on, we will hold at least two conferences every year – one in Europe and one in Miami.”

Speakers at our first European event include the chief financial regulators of the Isle of Man and Jersey, an attorney whose clients are suing their Swiss bank employers for providing information to the U. S. authorities, and leading offshore practitioners.

Featured sessions include those on Evaluating Offshore Jurisdictions, The Effect on Banking Secrecy of the G20 Crackdown on OFCs, a Review of the First 12 Months of the UK Government’s Offshore Co-Ordination Unit, How to Identify Offshore Red Flags, and The Use of Offshore Structures by British Football Clubs to Conceal Ownership & Avoid Taxes.

Attendees will hear about the latest trends and developments in the offshore world, including which jurisdictions and products are on the rise and which are on the decline, and where the emerging wealth from China, Russia and India is being channelled through.

The conference will also look at the offshore transactions that helped cause the collapse of Glasgow Rangers Football Club and embarrassed British comedian Jimmy Carr in a session about the grey area of offshore tax schemes.

You will learn about why OFCs are used by the world’s biggest corporations and High Net Worth Individuals to minimize risk and maximize protection and what their options are if things go wrong.
