### sec.155 Requirements relating to advertising
A restriction imposed under this Act or another Act in connection with advertising by Australian legal practitioners applies to advertising by a multi-disciplinary partnership in relation to the provision of legal services.
If a restriction mentioned in subsection (1) is limited to a particular branch of the legal profession or persons who practise in a particular style of legal practice, the restriction applies only to the extent that the multi-disciplinary partnership carries on the business of that branch of the legal profession or that particular style of legal practice.
An advertisement by a multi-disciplinary partnership about the provision of services that include legal services is, for the purposes of a disciplinary proceeding against an Australian legal practitioner, taken to have been authorised by each legal practitioner partner of the multi-disciplinary partnership.
This section does not apply if the provision by which the restriction is imposed expressly excludes its application to multi-disciplinary partnerships.
