Privacy in EU: Lawyers are not necessarily always interested in the rule of law

[Don]

An interesting piece: Another EU court case is weaponising human rights against transparency and tax justice - Tax Justice Network

The European Court of Justice is set to again deliver a ruling that could have a huge impact on transparency, exchange of information and the fight against illicit financial flows, especially if it considers that any case of company formation by lawyers would be subject to legal professional privilege.

Interesting read.

I get the arguments for both sides but what an attack on privacy.

I HATE that Tax Justice Network!

Sorry, but what a drama queen. Whichever information should be registered under Luxembourg's laws will be in the Company Registry.
No need to undermine privacy or attorney-client privilege.
