Ricardo Gil Lavedra is running for re-election as president of the CABA Public Bar Association. He proposes to "deepen the profound change that we began two years ago" He defines fees, professional secrecy and full presence in court.
The former judge of the chamber who convicted the former commanders said that the association has to have a more powerful institutional voice to defend the rights of lawyers before Justice, the Government and Congress. He will compete against Patricia Trotta, who broke with the current leadership and heads the list of People of Law, which includes a large part of Buenos Aires Peronism and Kirchnerism, whose strong man in the Capital is Juan Manuel Olmos, former official of Alberto Fernández. He also filed an injunction against the article of the new anti-money laundering law that obliges lawyers to be obligated subjects of the UIF in the case of suspicions about the origin of the fees paid by their clients. The reform to the money laundering law, which obliges the non-litigation lawyer in certain matters to control, investigate and even report his client grossly violates professional secrecy, he said.
