The AIJA Banking & Finance Commission and the AIJA Tax Commission are pleased to organize a joint seminar, to explore Trends and Challenges in Cross-Border Finance and Taxation! This seminar will be held in the beautiful and historical city of Thessaloniki, Greece, in the end of September 2026, in front of the Aegean Sea. The perfect spot for entering smoothly into the Fall season, while enjoying the sweetness of an extended summertime and lively atmosphere!
In this seminar, the academic programme will cover a broad range of topics relating to the intersections of banking, finance, capital markets and taxation. Leading practitioners and industry experts will exchange views and discuss the latest trends and regulatory challenges in cross-border corporate structuring and asset finance transactions, involving multiple jurisdictions and stakeholders. The academic programme will also explore financing/securitisation transactions and address the role of taxes in this context, as well as the challenges of having different tax authorities potentially involved in a single transaction. In addition, investment fund structures and especially direct lending funds will be discussed from both finance and tax professionals’ perspectives. Finally, with the growing importance of sustainable finance, the programme will also address the intersection of taxation and sustainable finance initiatives, considering how tax frameworks can support or hinder the transition towards greener investments.
This event will offer an opportunity for AIJA members across the world to exchange views, build their AIJA networks, and deepen their expertise in a friendly and international setting. So mark your calendars for September 2026, in the heart of Greece’s second largest city!
