What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic legal environment that values compliance and strategic advisory, offering opportunities for professional growth.

I am a seasoned legal professional with over 9 years of experience in Sri Lanka and the UAE, holding a Master of Laws (LL.M.) from the University of West London. My expertise spans corporate law, regulatory compliance, and arbitration, with a proven track record across diverse sectors including maritime, fintech, sports, aviation, and real estate.

Throughout my career, I have successfully represented clients in high-stakes arbitration and litigation, including a notable USD 5M claim before the Court of Arbitration for Sport. My role as a Legal Specialist in Dubai has allowed me to advise on commercial regulations, contract drafting, and GDPR compliance, ensuring that my clients navigate complex legal landscapes effectively.

I am passionate about providing strategic legal advisory services and fostering compliance in corporate governance. My commitment to excellence and my ability to adapt to various legal environments make me a valuable asset to any organization seeking a dedicated legal counsel.
