Dear Members and Friends of STEP
Dear Members of the Kunsthaus Zug
Our discussion will focus on how individuals, families and trusts/foundations have supported the Kunsthaus, and the opportunities and challenges for those who are considering doing the same.
Right now the Kunsthaus is embracing new challenges. You will hear about the ideas for the future and the opportunities to become involved in the next chapter of this local landmark. This event will help you spark discussions with your clients and families who are interested in collecting Art and supporting the Arts.
Prior the panel discussion you will have the opportunity to benefit from a guided tour through the Kunsthaus Zug.

ALICE MARTIN Alice’s clients are wealthy families and the trustees, family offices and advisers who support them. Many of Alice’s clients are in the Arts and creative industries. Clients come to her for sound advice on cross-border succession planning, combined with UK tax advice, and Alice encourages her clients to see that the family wealth is much more than just the numbers on the balance sheet. International clients often have assets and family members across multiple jurisdictions, so the advice must balance multi-jurisdiction taxation issues with family dynamics.
Alice has a particular focus on clients in the arts, media and digital industries. Her clients include performers, writers, games creators, art collectors, app developers and music industry leaders. Before qualifying as a lawyer, Alice studied theatre. Early in her career she also worked at an international auction house, advising on arts and heritage taxation. Alice is very tuned into the estate planning needs of creative clients. She also advises trustees and families with art collections.
Many of Alice’s clients have US connections, including Brits moving to the US; and US families with UK connections.
Alice also advises on issues of mental capacity. This is an issue of increasing importance professionally, and as Alice’s mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2013, it is something she also understands first-hand. Alice helps families, money managers and trustees when a family member has mental capacity issues.
