LEGAL PROFESSION ACT 2007 - SECT 144

144 Nature of multi-disciplinary partnership

(1) 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.

(2) 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.

(3) Nothing in this part affects or applies to the provision by a multi-disciplinary partnership of legal services in 1 or more other jurisdictions.
