Because consulting is Beneath Law but Above Accountancy. Of course pwc would want to add a consulting practice. It would only diminish a big law firm’s prestige imho

Anyone who says the word "Sustainability" at any point in time unironically is an idiot. You've also explicitly stated your intention in other threads. Your response in this thread is also wrong. Your idiocy pairs perfectly with "sustainability."

You can't lock threads on autoadmit. Autoadmit is here to relentlessly remind you that pursuing law, especially fake "LLM" law and "sustainability," is a wrong move you will regret. You clearly do not have a knack for law, as evidenced by your fundamental misunderstanding of the laws that regulate the practice of law. Find a new hobby, champ.

It's a cycle. They start up consulting arms. Then those consulting arms get too intertwined where the auditor is willing to overlook accounting malfeasance if they get enough consulting business. They the government makes them separate. And then a few years later, rinse and repeat.

Cap Gemini was spun off from EY as Cap Gemini Ernst & Young like 25 years ago because regulators asked to separate. And then a few years later, I guess EY started up another consulting unit.

Accenture was born out of the Arthur Anderson implosion. Though I don't know if Accenture does audit today.

consulting is just a business model. lawyers are already consultants they just consult on legal stuff. they obviously do other stuff that isnt legal related too like how there was a poast about covington and burling vetting harris' vp picks. they do special investigations as well. and advise on regulatory matters.

cr they also do lobbying and pr stuff

there's a whole wide range of white-collar professional services in M&A etc where it's sort of interchangeable who does it (accountant vs lawyer vs consultant vs financial analyst).

Didn’t Cahill have one a few years back? Auditing and business consulting just has way more cross-over than law and consulting. There are also more potential issues with conflicts and practice of law

Law firms are prohibited from having non-lawyer owners so that is probably why this isn't more of a thing--a non-lawyer could not be a "partner" in these arms.

Named partners could easily just license out their trademark for operation of a consulting firm. This has been done before in consulting.
