We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.

Some examples from the profession -
Harish Salve, Senior Advocate (CA, LLB)
Arvind P. Datar, Senior Advocate (CMA, LLB) - CMA is Cost Accountant. Similar to CA, but not as popular due to various factors.
Percy J. Pardiwala, Senior Advocate, Bombay HC (CA, LLB) - Leading income tax lawyer at the Bombay Bar
Ajay Bahl, Co-founder and Managing Partner, AZB & Partners (CA, LLB)
V. Sridharan, Co-founder, LKS and Senior Advocate, Bombay HC (CA, CMA, LLB) - Leading indirect tax lawyer at the Bombay Bar
Justice Anil Dave, Judge (Retd.), Supreme Court of India (CA, LLB, LLM)
Dr. Justice Vineet Kothari, Acting Chief Justice (Retd.), Gujarat HC (LLB, LLM, CA, CS, PhD)
Some others who I think have also done CA (or its equivalent) but I could not find substantive proof on the internet. Faintly remember reading/hearing about their education - DISPUTED -
Ajay Vohra, Senior Advocate (CA, LLB) - Former Managing Partner - Vaish Associates
Jehangir D. Mistry, Senior Advocate, Bombay HC (ACCA-UK, LLB) - Leading income tax lawyer at the Bombay Bar
There are plenty more, I am sure. It is not easy to find them all across the internet. These are just the ones off the top of my head. As you can see, most of them practise tax litigation. However, the first two, (i.e. Mr. Salve and Mr. Datar) practise across a wide gamut of laws - company, securities, constitution, criminal, etc.
