We are delighted to invite you to a free 1½-day conference in London on international financial services and small states.

International Financial Services Institutions based in small states (SS IFCs) are key players in the financial services industry. SS IFCs are often able to deliver international financial services more efficiently and effectively than larger enterprises. In recent years, SS IFCs have driven innovation and become important players in international financial services trade.

The treatment of SS IFCs is central to the international tax reform agenda. Both the G20 and the European Union have signalled commitment to significant regulatory changes in 2017, including blacklisting and other measures which have historically penalised their small states and SS IFCs. The conference will address the importance of SS IFCs to the financial services industry, issues involving international tax regulations affecting SS IFCs, and international arbitration as a means of resolving arising disputes.
