From non-dom reforms to film-set incentives, the transatlantic talent flow is shifting.

In this Expert Networks episode, host Neil Williams is joined by Meghan Vozila (Penningtons) and Paul Samartin (Samartin & Friends) to separate signal from headline noise, and explain what actually moves people and capital between the UK and the US.

What we cover

  • The “millionaire exodus” – myth vs reality: April tax changes nudged some to go, but many stayed after sensible restructuring.
  • Why the UK still pulls: production incentives, London’s ecosystem and practical routes for short creative work keep the lights on.
  • Why founders head Stateside: scale capital, deeper markets in tech and life sciences – often incubate here, scale there.
  • Plan before you pack: tax, wealth and legal housekeeping (ISAs, property sales, wills, prenups, parental orders) can save pain later.
  • Policy cross-currents: tougher rhetoric and higher fees on both sides – yet doors stay ajar for high-value talent.
