This article analyzes the European Court of Human Rights judgement of 6 December 2012, Michaud v. France, declaring that the French regulation requiring attorneys to report their suspicions about possible illegal activities of their customers in relation to money laundering is not a disproportionate interference -and therefore illegal- with the right of privacy enshrined in art. 8 ECHR. This paper also tries to show that, taking into account the doctrine of the ECtHR in the mentioned case, it is possible to interpret the Spanish legal system so that it overcomes the apparent situation of permanent conflict of duties which would burden the lawyer: on the one hand, bound by the duty of professional secrecy. On the other, urged to report suspicious transactions of money laundering that he finds out in the exercise of his profession.
