If you really like both accounts and law, the generic way here is to specialise in commercial or tax law, and they usually start their careers as lawyers. With these knowledge, you could fulfil your management consultant role of being a legal adviser.

True, if your intended path is to focus on just accounting and law, any careers unrelated to these 2 professions will dilute your skill-sets.
My personal perspective of these two professions, on the contrary, is that they are professional skill-sets or knowledge that will complement my MBA, which I would bank on to secure a job as a management consultant in firms like Bain, BCG, McKinsey. I have no plans to become a legal advisor in the long-term.
