Spring reflections from Monaco — PCD Conference 2026

As spring unfolds across Europe, Monaco once again becomes a meeting point for international perspectives, ideas, and conversations shaping the future of private wealth.

This week, Jo Vanbelle is present at the PCD Monaco Conference 2026, hosted at the iconic Fairmont Monte Carlo — a setting that reflects both the prestige and the international nature of the discussions taking place.

Where complexity becomes practical

One of the more engaging moments of the day was the panel discussion on multi-jurisdiction advisory, governance and disputes. The conversation focused on the practical realities of coordinating advice across borders — aligning different legal systems, managing conflicting requirements, and ensuring consistency in strategy.

For advisors working with internationally active clients, this is where theory meets practice. It underscored the importance of clear governance frameworks and effective collaboration between jurisdictions, particularly when complexity gives rise to friction or dispute.

Bringing together tax advisors, lawyers, wealth managers, trustees and family office professionals from leading financial centres, the conference creates a space where cross-border thinking is not only relevant, but essential.

A moment to reconnect — and to look ahead

Spring is often associated with renewal. In the world of international tax and wealth planning, that renewal takes the form of re-evaluating structures, adapting to regulatory change, and anticipating what lies ahead.

Always a pleasure to catch up with Michaël Reiss von Filski

The conversations in Monaco reflect exactly that.

From global mobility and cross-border tax planning to succession strategies, asset structuring and evolving regulatory frameworks, the agenda addresses the realities faced by internationally active clients and their advisors today.

But beyond the technical discussions, what makes these gatherings valuable is something less tangible — the opportunity to exchange perspectives with peers who operate across jurisdictions, each bringing their own insights into an increasingly complex global landscape.

The value of being present

In a field where developments are constant and often interconnected, staying close to the international dialogue is essential.

Events such as the PCD Monaco Conference are not only about information — they are about context:

  • understanding how different jurisdictions evolve,
  • identifying emerging patterns,
  • and testing ideas through conversation.

They provide a setting where strategy is shaped not in isolation, but through interaction.

Vanbelle Law Boutique in an international context

At Vanbelle Law Boutique, our work is inherently international.

We advise entrepreneurs, families, and corporate groups navigating cross-border tax, structuring, and legal challenges — often across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory environments.

Being present in Monaco reflects that positioning:

  • engaged in international dialogue,
  • attentive to developments across borders,
  • and continuously refining the way we advise our clients.

As the season shifts, so too does the landscape in which our clients operate.

We look forward to continuing the conversations initiated in Monaco — and to translating these insights into clear, pragmatic strategies for those we advise.
