Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether an individual registered as an advocate with the Bar Council of India can simultaneously become a member of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) after completing the CS course. While the Bar Council generally encourages further education, ICSI rules and the Advocates Act, 1961, appear to prohibit practising as both an advocate and a Company Secretary concurrently. An advocate may be able to study the CS course but cannot hold membership in both professional bodies at the same time.

Verfy whether Advocate's Act permits it

Bar Council would only Encourage Further Studies and Further Education of any Choice. Having an Law Degree would be additional Merit for an CS. Many CS could be found with an Law Degree. When you start practicing as CS proper information should be made to concerned Bar Council. That's it. All the Best

You can pursue CS course as practicing lawyer, if ICSI rules permit.

According to the guidelines, you only can practice in one field you cannot practice as an advocate and in the meantime as a CS in a company.
