The purchase of ATD Legal Services PC is a way of extending the financial forensics practice in Canada, according to the firm. Document review will now be part of the work that the firm does for law firms when it carries out expert witness work, says Deloitte. Jordan Furlong of Edge International, a consultancy based in Ottawa, says that the move is a sign that the accountants are 'making serious noise' about extending their services into the legal sector. He says: 'The main strategic difference I have seen between law firms and accounting firms is that law firms have always marginalized or restricted themselves in terms of the narrowness and the focus of their offer.'
