No, lawyers cannot work as real estate brokers or agents while practicing law. Bar Council rules do not allow advocates to engage in businesses that involve commissions, brokerage, or commercial trading. Such activities may create conflicts of interest and affect professional independence.
However, lawyers can give legal advice on property matters, draft agreements, or handle registrations, as these are part of legal work. They must avoid any role where they earn brokerage or act as a middleman in property deals. Keeping legal practice separate from commercial activities is essential for maintaining professional ethics.
