Lóránt Horváth: The Responsibility of Lawyers Working for the NER and Key Contributors

The article discusses the need for transparency in public legal contracts and the role of professionals in uncovering misuse of public funds. It supports the idea of examining the involvement of legal and financial experts in these processes. While agreeing with Melléthei-Barna Márton's views on transparency, it emphasizes the careful consideration needed for mandatory public disclosure of legal opinions, as this could have serious reputational consequences before personal responsibility is established. The author raises questions about how to ensure transparency while maintaining attorney-client privilege and the conditions under which insiders can assist in revealing illegal structures. The piece argues that legal professionals cannot participate in unlawful objectives, and their accountability must be addressed in regulatory proposals.
