jurisdiction, whether or not it also provides services that are not legal
services.

following services —

in-house legal services, namely, legal services provided
to the corporation concerning a proceeding or transaction to which the
corporation (or a related body corporate) is a party;

services that are not legally required to be provided by
an Australian legal practitioner and that are provided by an officer or an

or
