Tax & IP law
CA + LLB or tech + LLB
- Remote
- Varies
- Qualification
- Typically BBA LLB (Integrated).
What the work involves
Day to day
Specialist legal practice in taxation or intellectual property - advising on structure and disputes in tax, or on patents, trademarks and copyright in IP, including filing and enforcement.
Who this suits
Fit
Lawyers who want technical depth in a defined area. IP suits those with a science or technology background; tax suits those comfortable with numbers and statutory interpretation.
The honest reality
Read this one
Both areas require continuous study of a fast-changing framework. The specialisation narrows your options if you later want to move. Indian IP practice is smaller than the interest in it suggests, and much of the work is procedural filing rather than litigation.
