20 August 2014 There are students who complete CA/CFA, ICWA and CS when the latter focuses on laws and is not finance or accounts based. Also some Chartered Accountants go for law. But an MBA is not said to be a better choice over a degree in law after Course of CS(Company Secretary). Why is it so? Also I would like to know various reasons for which a CA certficate holder pursues a degree in law ?

21 August 2014 I think it depends on individual choice as according to me with CA it is better to pursue course like MBA Finance rather than doing CS or LAW. Thinking behind this may be similarity in the courses and approach required for CA or CS.

As per my suggestion with CS one should go for LL.B. to grab top opportunities at management level. LL.B. is a very good combination with CS as far as course content and understanding the corporate environment is concerned.

If you are having LL.B. qualification then it would be counted as an additional advantage and you can easily and confidently handle or administer Legal work/department along with the secretarial work/department. Later on you may be designated as legal and secretarial head.

Best Regards

25 August 2014 I am pursuing Course for CS(Company Secretary) and waiting for results of second level of this examination named 'Executive'. I wish to know about the working opportunities available overseas if I go for law with my certification in CS. Will a candidate have to gain qualification in law degrees of individual countries to be able to work there that is after a couple of year's work/practice in India ?
I have had an inclination for the field of law and I seem to have a qualitative aspect to my creative thinking. My only concern is regarding the boundation of working in particular countries owing to to different laws governing different nations. Because the other option open to me is of an MBA in finance. The later is sans such limitation and I have developed an interest for finance in past some years.
Any valued suggestions please ?

25 August 2014 I did my graduation in B.Com. Will I need to do L.L.B. and then L.L.M in corporate law or is there an option to specialise in corporate law for a graduate of non-law background ?

02 August 2024 As a B.Com graduate interested in specializing in corporate law, you have several options available without necessarily pursuing a full L.L.B. and L.L.M. pathway. Here are some pathways and alternatives to consider:

### **1. **Post-Graduate Diplomas and Certifications**
- **Diploma in Corporate Law:** Many universities and institutions offer diploma programs specifically focused on corporate law. These are shorter in duration compared to a full L.L.B. or L.L.M. and provide specialized knowledge in corporate legal matters.
- **Certification Courses:** There are various certification programs available that focus on specific areas of corporate law, such as compliance, company secretarial practices, or corporate governance.

### **2. **Master of Business Law (MBL)**
- **MBL Programs:** Some universities offer a Master of Business Law (MBL) program that combines business and legal education, tailored for professionals with a background in business or commerce. This can be a good fit for your B.Com background and will provide specialized knowledge in corporate law.

### **3. **Corporate Law Specialization in L.L.B.**
- **Integrated L.L.B. Programs:** If you decide to pursue an L.L.B., you can opt for integrated programs that offer a focus or specialization in corporate law. This can provide you with a thorough understanding of both general and specialized legal topics.

### **4. **L.L.M. in Corporate Law**
- **L.L.M. Programs:** After obtaining an L.L.B., you can specialize further by pursuing an L.L.M. in Corporate Law. This is a more advanced specialization for those looking to deepen their expertise in corporate law.

### **5. **Professional Courses and Training**
- **Company Secretary (CS) Program:** The CS qualification is highly relevant for corporate law and provides expertise in corporate governance, compliance, and company law.
- **Chartered Accountant (CA):** While not a law degree, the CA qualification can be beneficial for understanding the financial aspects of corporate law.

### **6. **Legal and Corporate Training Programs**
- **In-House Training:** Many companies offer in-house legal training for their employees, which can provide practical experience and knowledge in corporate law.

### **7. **Work Experience and Internships**
- **Legal Internships:** Gaining practical experience through internships at law firms or corporate legal departments can be invaluable. It allows you to learn about corporate legal practices and build your expertise in the field.

### **8. **Continuing Legal Education**
- **Workshops and Seminars:** Attend workshops, seminars, and conferences related to corporate law to stay updated with current trends and legal developments.

### **Summary**
You don't necessarily need to pursue L.L.B. and L.L.M. to specialize in corporate law. Depending on your career goals and current qualifications, you can explore diploma courses, certifications, or specialized training in corporate law. Additionally, gaining practical experience and engaging in continuous learning will enhance your expertise in the field.
