Summary

I’m a highly motivated law graduate from the University of London, currently reading for the bar at Sri Lanka Law College. My legal training is backed by hands-on experience in leading law firms in Sri Lanka where I gained practical expertise in civil litigation, legal drafting, intellectual property, and corporate advisory work. In addition to my legal background, I’ve taken on diverse roles in project coordination, management training and even tea tasting developing a unique blend of skills in research, client relations, operations, and critical analysis. These experiences have strengthened my ability to approach legal and business challenges with precision, adaptability, and a solutions-oriented mindset. I’m eager to contribute to forward-thinking legal teams and organizations that value cross-functional experience, attention to detail, and a strong foundation in legal practice. I am certain that my knowledge and experience would make a great candidate for this position as well as a great asset for your company/organization.
