Multi-disciplinary partnership

On 1 February 2008, PricewaterhouseCoopers integrated the legal services business of PwC Legal into the broader PwC partnership to create Australia's largest multi-disciplinary partnership (MDP). The MDP structure provides our clients with seamless access to specialist legal and non-legal expertise across a board spectrum of commercial disciplines.

The move to a single partnership model for the delivery of both legal and non-legal services aligns with PwC's global legal strategy of providing legal services that complement the firm's core tax, advisory and assurance offerings. Additionally, the move has enhanced PwC's ability to provide its clients with end to end solutions as well as simplify their acquisition of professional services."
