In this case whether Advocate represents company before tribunal is irrelevant.. company received legal services for filing of complaints in court and has paid legal charges to Advocate, which attracts Service tax under Reverse charge Mechanism @ 12.36%

RCM is applical for the company.. The company have to pay 12.36% on 20,000/- 

They can avail input tax credit on the same..
