The French association for the legal arms of the big accountancy firms has dissolved after a decade following the decision this month by KPMG’s tied giant, Fidal, to quit the group.
The group, Juri-Avenir, was set up in 1992 to represent the affiliated law firms of the big five accountants in France and lobby regulators on issues central to their practices.
Juri-Avenir’s remaining members – PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Landwell, Deloitte & Touche Juridique et Fiscal and HSD Ernst & Young/Andersen Legal – formally disbanded the association on 19 September after Fidal’s departure.
