Hello Arpan,

When you say you want to become a business lawyer I suppose you mean corporate lawyer.  If you want to become a lawyer in the first place you need to understand 2 things. First, you can do your LLB after your 12th board or after Graduation. If you decide to do your LLB after 12th it will be of 5 years and if you decide to do your LLB after graduation it will be 3 years. BBA LLB, BA LLB are of 5 years. Only LLB which is done after graduation is of 3 years. Now to become a business/corporate lawyer you can pursue either of the 2 options which I have mentioned above. Also there are various fields into which you can specialize as a lawyer one of which is corporate law. If you have made your mind to dive into corporate law you should make yourself well versed in various corporate laws. Also do your internship in a firm or company or a lawyer which specializes in corporate law. There is no such restriction that a 3 year LLB student cannot become a corporate lawyer. All you need is a LLB degree which you can pursue either after your 12th or after your Graduation. There are various entrance exams which you can give after 12th such as CLAT, MH Law CET, etc, and after graduation such as MH Law CET, SLAT, etc.

Hope this helps.

Hey aspirant,

If you wish to become a business lawyer and you are confused between the degrees that you can pursue to become a business lawyer I shall definitely assist you with the same. Instead of a traditional LLB or a complete business course like BBA to become a business lawyer you can do what is known as a BBALLB which is a five-year course and it is a complete integration of the best of both worlds that is business and law and this course would be an excellent choice for you and equip you with the best knowledge about both the fields. After completing this course you can also get placements and a lot of good corporate firms. All the best hope this helps!
