We are proud to share that our Partner-Head of Corporate and Private Client, Stella Strati who also serves as one of the Directors of STEP Cyprus, moderated an engaging panel discussion during the STEP Europe Conference 2025, held on 23–24 October 2025 in Limassol, Cyprus.
The annual STEP Europe Conference brings together leading private client, trust, and estate practitioners from across Europe and beyond to exchange insights on the evolving landscape of wealth management, succession planning, and cross-border structuring.
Stella moderated the session titled: “Strategic Philanthropy: Helping Families Design and Structure Their Giving.”
The panel explored key topics such as:
- Dear donor, give me more money! – How the investment capability of philanthropic organisations relates to donor behaviour and fundraising success;
- From business success to giving better – How new-wave entrepreneurs turn cash-outs into impact;
- From good intentions to great impact – Navigating philanthropic pitfalls.
Stella was joined by distinguished panelists:

It was a thought-provoking discussion highlighting the growing importance of strategic philanthropy in today’s global wealth landscape and the role of trusted advisors in helping families achieve meaningful impact through giving.
