Arnaud Tailfer speaks at the EFE Conference on “Abuse of Law and Wealth Structuring”
26 June 2025
Arnaud Tailfer, Partner at Axtead, was a guest speaker at the 10th edition of the conference organized by EFE on the theme of “Abuse of Law and Wealth Management Operations“. The event was chaired by Gilles Bachelier, Honorary Chamber President at the Conseil d’État.
During a session dedicated to the new “red lines” established by recent case law, he addressed the tax risks associated with the structuring of wealth-related income.
