Liz recently blogged about KPMG’s efforts to obtain approval to provide legal services in Arizona. Earlier this week, Arizona’s Supreme Court refused to approve KPMG’s request, and instead asked for more information.  Here’s an excerpt from a Bloomberg Law article:

The Arizona Supreme Court on Tuesday requested more information on KPMG’s application to practice law in the state, declining for now to approve the company’s request. The court met to consider the application Tuesday after an Arizona committee earlier this month recommended KPMG’s approval, which would make it the first Big Four accounting firm to practice law in the US.

“The KPMG application remains under review,” court communications director Alberto Rodriguez said in an email. The court has requested “additional information or clarification on aspects of the application.” There are “no specifics or timeframe” as to when the court will make a final decision, Rodriguez said.

KPMG didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
