In November 2022, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) sparked a seismic shift in the regulatory landscape with its ruling that the public should not have access to beneficial ownership registries.

Join us as we delve into the ripple effects of this ruling with our guests, Maíra Martini, research and policy expert on corrupt money flows at Transparency International, and Andres Knobel, lawyer and senior researcher at the Tax Justice Network, along with host, Alex Pillow.

This conversation sheds light on:

• Why the ruling may have came about
• The impacts the decision had on financial crime fighters and the bad actors they pursue
• How companies and KYC professionals can navigate through this new reality

The decision by the ECJ on 16th July 2020, to invalidate the EU - US Privacy Shield sent shockwaves across organisations in the EU and US. We are now in January 2021 and there have been some solutions offered by the European Commission.

But how workable are they for businesses in practise??

Join me, Karen Heaton and guest Mark Sherwood-Edwards, lawyer, data protection specialist and founder of Clearview Legal to discuss the latest pronouncements from the EC, on a revision of the Standard Contractual Clauses, Safeguards for transfers to the US (and other third countries) and of course, the impact of Brexit and what this will mean if the EC does not grant adequacy status to the UK.
