25 May 2012 I think all the exemptions have been removed and hence it is liable for service tax now.

25 May 2012 Yes the same was amended vide finance act 2011 which states
Scope of ‘Legal Service’ has been extended to include:
– services provided by a business entity to any person;
– services provided by any person to any business entity in relation to representational services before any court, tribunal or authority; and
– services provided by an arbitral tribunal to any business entity in respect of arbitration.
