Hello Amaan,

Thanks for contacting Careers360.

I am assuming that you have misspelled the word 'Corporate' as 'Cooperate'.

Corporate lawyers advise businesses on complying with regulations and conducting mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, public listings and drafting corporate agreements. Corporate law can also include other areas such as media law, real estate law, tax law and other laws regulating business operations.

Coming to your query, in order to become a corporate lawyer, you need to get a degree in law by taking up a five-year Bachelor of Law (B.A. LL.B) degree course after completing your higher secondary education (Class 12) or by pursuing the three-year B.A. LL.B after obtaining a bachelor's degree in any discipline.Research and prepare to join a good law school.Getting into a top law school is quite competitive but it offers the advantage of better faculty, infrastructure and education. Graduating from a good law school will also give your career an edge by improving your job prospects so prepare well for the admission test like CLAT,etc. 

After obtaining a B.A. LL.B, you can practice as a lawyer. To specialize in corporate law, it may be a good idea to pursue a post-graduate law degree or diploma courses in corporate or business-related law.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!

Hello Amaan,

If you are planning to do BA. LLB then there are colleges that give you option to chose your specialization paper in your 4th year (example: NUSRL, Ranchi). Their you can choose corporate, constitution, criminal, or any other specialization that you want to do.
