If the value of service provided exceeds Rs. 9 lakhs, the service provider has to take registration for service tax. Ref:- CBSE NOTIFICATION NO 9/2008 DATED 01/3/2008.

Uptil now service tax is not to be levied on legal services, so registration is not necessary for the service provider. but as per Finance bill 2009, Legal services are covered in service tax perview. Exemption is granted to Individual service provider & receiver means even if one of the party (i.e. service receiver or service provider) is individual, service tax is not liable for these services. as such services are covered in finance act by way of ammendment the threshold limit as specified in CBSE NOTIFICATION NO 9/2008 DATED 01/3/2008 of Rs 9 Lacs is attacted. If the value of service provided(Taxable as well as exempt) exceeds Rs. 9 lakhs, the service provider has to take registration for service tax.

First of all whether the advocate can be called a business entity is to be decided.
Second the legal firm provides services to individuals then again not liable. Only services to other business entities are liable.
Thirdly if liable the service is not still notified from any date.
Fourthly from the notified date, the exemption of Rs. 10 Lakhs under Not.6/2005 can be claimed. If likely to cross the limit then apply for regsitration once the value of taxable services provided ( from date to be notified onwards ) reaches Rs.9 Lakhs.
