CenterPeak's Jeffrey Lowe offers a measured take on KPMG's Arizona law license application: "Their business interests are so much more diverse than law firms are. So, I think it's always interesting to see, but I don't think it's going to have a material effect on BigLaw as we know it." While KPMG seeks to offer "large-scale, process-driven work" like volume contracting and M&A harmonization, experts say the Big Four disruption threat remains limited to commodity legal work, not high-stakes litigation or complex transactions.
