Nature of multi-disciplinary partnership
144 Nature of multi-disciplinary partnership
A partnership is a multi-disciplinary partnership if it is a partnership between 1 or more Australian legal practitioners and 1 or more other persons who are not Australian legal practitioners, and the partnership business includes the provision of legal services in this jurisdiction as well as other services.
However, a partnership consisting only of 1 or more Australian legal practitioners and 1 or more Australian-registered foreign lawyers is not a multi-disciplinary partnership.
Nothing in this part affects or applies to the provision by a multi-disciplinary partnership of legal services in 1 or more other jurisdictions.
