Major accounting firms PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), Ernst & Young (EY) and KPMG are increasingly diversifying into the legal services market, including in Australia. The local arm of the global PwC firm has appointed former King & Wood Mallesons managing partners Tony O’Malley and Tim Blue. The Australian tax dispute management practice leader at KPMG, Jeremy Geale, says its legal division will grow 100%-plus in the coming years, while EY Asia Pacific law leader Howard Adams says it will have recruited 200 new lawyers by mid-2015
