This SATC Forum, held shortly before our annual STEP Switzerland &
Liechtenstein Seminar on 19th May (Geneva) and 20th May (Zurich) 2008 on “Swiss
Trustees and Protectors: Rules of the Game in the New Millennium”, will touch on one
of the Seminar’s main themes: the future regulation of trusteeship in Switzerland and
SATC’s key role in this process.
