Some professional journeys come full circle.
Our Partner, Ivan Zammit, recently returned to Leiden for Leiden Event 2026, a special gathering celebrating Professor Kees van Raad’s remarkable 50 years of teaching international tax law.
The event was a welcome reminder that nothing quite replaces meeting face to face. A couple of focused days together can spark fresh thinking, strengthen long-standing relationships and open the door to new conversations.
Ivan returned to Malta with plenty of ideas and, after enjoying Leiden’s cooler air while Malta faced a heatwave, perhaps feeling refreshed in more ways than one.
Our warmest congratulations to Professor Kees van Raad on an extraordinary achievement. To teach and influence generations of international tax professionals for half a century at Leiden University, one of Europe’s most historic and distinguished universities, is a truly remarkable legacy.
Sheltons Malta was proud to sponsor this memorable occasion.
