KPMG is one step closer to becoming the first of the Big Four accounting firm to open a law firm in the United States, leveraging loosened law firm ownership rules in Arizona and accelerating the accounting industry's push into U.S. legal services, Reuters reports. A new subsidiary, KPMG Law US, persuaded a court committee on Tuesday to recommend approval by the Arizona Supreme Court to practice law in the state. The new unit could give corporate legal departments more options to outsource work and could also serve clients outside of Arizona. The full court will weigh KPMG’s bid on Jan. 28.
