After reverse charge came individual advocates and firm of advocates are not required to charge service tax in their invoices.. . . it is the responsibility on part of business entity who is receiving the services and have to discharge complete 100% of service tax..
Ask him to pay now along with interest other wise from 01.10.2014 onwards higher rate of interests will be applicable

Additionally you have to make ammendment to service tax registration certificate that you are receiving advocate services as a service receiver . . .
