Obligations and privileges of Australian legal practitioner who is partner or employee
150 Obligations and privileges of Australian legal practitioner who is partner or employee
An Australian legal practitioner who provides legal services in the capacity of a partner or an employee of a multi-disciplinary partnership—
is not excused from compliance with the professional obligations, or other obligations under any law, of an Australian legal practitioner; and
does not lose the professional privileges of an Australian legal practitioner.
To remove any doubt, it is declared that the law relating to client legal privilege, or other legal professional privilege, is not excluded or otherwise affected because an Australian legal practitioner is acting in the capacity of a partner or employee of a multi-disciplinary partnership.
