135 Conduct of multidisciplinary partnerships (1) An Australian legal practitioner may be in partnership with a person who is not an Australian legal practitioner, if the business of the partnership includes the provision of legal services. (2) Subsection (1) does not prevent an Australian legal practitioner from being in partnership with a person who is not an Australian legal practitioner, if the business of the partnership does not include the provision of legal services. (3) A regulation may prohibit an Australian legal practitioner from being in partnership with a person providing a service or conducting a business of a prescribed kind, if the business of the partnership includes the provision of legal services. Note Contravention of a regulation is a ground for making a prohibition order under section 148 (Prohibition on multidisciplinary partnerships with certain partners who are not Australian legal practitioners).
