I am confused of my career prospects. I have been working in a firm specialising in corporate and insolvency litigations before NCLT & NCLAT, though I love the practise and the work, i would love to do some tax litigation (indirect tax)
However, indirect tax seems to be a niche practise and doesn’t seem to pay off in the end. (Mind you, I am based out of Chennai so I really don’t have varied options in terms of law firms) Unless the GSTAT gets fully functioning, there would be more reason to shift to indirect tax as an inevitable boom of cases will happen once the tribunal gets functioning
The problem is that you don’t find lawyers practising both indirect tax and company & insolvency litigation, the closest thing you would fund are senior counsels but they practise almost every type of law so I am not keen on going through that route
So now I am at crossroads, I really don’t know what route shall I pursue
