Law firms should follow the example of big banks by signing up to the EU’s transparency register

The EU’s ‘transparency register’ is a voluntary register of the companies and individuals involved in lobbying the EU’s institutions, the interests being pursued by each party, and the level of resources being invested in these activities. Michiel van Hulten writes that while several important financial institutions have recently signed up to the register, the record of large international law firms is far less impressive, with relatively few currently participating.
