Pro Bono & Social Responsibility

Service beyond the brief

At D. L. & F. De Saram, our role extends beyond the practice of law.

We believe in contributing to the communities of which we are a part through pro bono legal work, education and professional development, community initiatives and support for the protection of Sri Lanka's natural environment.

Our approach is grounded in long term involvement, meaningful partnerships and a belief that our skills, resources and relationships can be used to contribute in practical and responsible ways.

Our Commitment

Our commitment to social responsibility reflects the values that have shaped the firm across generations.

Through our legal work and wider community involvement, we seek to support access to justice, create opportunities for learning and development, contribute to the wellbeing of communities and encourage the responsible stewardship of our natural environment.

Pro Bono & Access to Justice

We recognise the particular responsibility that comes with the practice of law.

Through pro bono counsel and other forms of legal support, we seek to assist individuals, organisations and initiatives where our professional knowledge can serve a wider purpose and contribute to greater access to justice.

Education & Empowerment

Education creates opportunity and strengthens communities.

Our involvement extends across initiatives that support learning and development, from educational opportunities within local communities to encouraging future generations of legal professionals through mentorship, practical exposure and other forms of support.

Community Upliftment

We support initiatives that respond to the needs of the communities in which we live and work.

Our involvement spans areas including education, wellbeing, healthcare and community development, working alongside individuals and organisations whose efforts help create greater opportunity, resilience and inclusion.

Environmental Conservation

The protection of Sri Lanka's natural environment is an important part of our wider social responsibility.

We support conservation efforts that seek to safeguard wildlife, preserve natural habitats and encourage a more sustainable relationship between communities and the environment.

Partnerships with Purpose

We value long term relationships with organisations whose work contributes to Sri Lanka's communities, culture and natural heritage.
