From April 6, 2025, the United Kingdom may abolish the tax regime for non-domiciled residents (Res Non Dom), replacing it with a new special 4-year regime.

Starting from the fifth year, all residents may be subject to ordinary taxation on global income, prompting many taxpayers to consider relocating to countries with more favorable tax regimes.

During the meeting, we will analyze the possible changes of the reform, relocation opportunities for High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI) in Switzerland and Italy, which offer similar flat-rate regimes, and the latest news based on the positions taken by the UK Government.

From November 4th to 6th, representatives from around the globe will convene to discuss market trends, future prospects, emerging technologies, and innovation. These workshops, held at our Milan headquarter, will provide a significant opportunity to exchange expertise and perspectives from various countries, offering a comprehensive view of the global market and introducing new challenges for growth and consolidation.

“The Global Forum represents three days of intensive work and networking for us, but also an event that fills us with pride for having established such an extensive and valuable network in a short period. The challenges are numerous, but our objectives are clear and well-defined. Grimaldi Alliance is increasingly ready to compete in international markets,” stated Francesco Sciaudone.

This prestigious event will bring together lawyers from 25 countries, offering a unique opportunity for open dialogue and the exchange of ideas. It will be an occasion to host our esteemed clients, reflect on past achievements, and strategize for future growth. Central to the program are two round tables where we will explore the economic challenges that companies face in an increasingly complex and international context.

Through these events, we aim to foster a collaborative environment where insights can be shared, mutual learning can occur, and stronger relationships can be built to drive our collective success forward.

On the occasion of the 45th Annual Conference, held at the prestigious Royal Automobile Club in Pall Mall, the Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the United Kingdom hosted a series of important speakers on AI issues.

Grimaldi Alliance was a proud sponsor of the event and our Counsel, Luisa Bossi, introduced the panel of speakers by sharing an overview of the legal framework and the state of funding of Artificial Intelligence across the EU member states, as well as offering an analytical comparison between the United Kingdom and the EU different regulatory approaches.

This led to an interesting and thought-provoking discussion on these issues, which saw the valuable contributions of experts from the relevant industries as well as legal advisors.

We are very grateful to the Chamber for organizing yet another wonderful event that has seen the Italian community coming together.
