Sector perspective
Banks, financial institutions, insurers, investment firms and other participants in the financial-services sector operate within an increasingly complex commercial and regulatory environment. Transactions must be structured carefully while meeting evolving requirements relating to licensing, governance, compliance and risk.
Our lawyers bring together experience across banking and finance, capital markets, corporate transactions, regulatory advisory and dispute resolution. This multidisciplinary approach allows us to address both the legal requirements of a matter and its wider commercial context.
We work with domestic and international clients on matters ranging from day-to-day regulatory questions to significant financings, investments and strategic transactions.
How we help
We advise clients across the financial-services sector on matters including:
- Corporate and syndicated lending
- Secured and unsecured financing
- Project and infrastructure financing
- Acquisition and leveraged financing
- Debt restructuring and refinancing
- Capital-markets and securities transactions
- Financial-services licensing and regulatory compliance
- Corporate governance and risk management
- Foreign investment and cross-border transactions
- Mergers, acquisitions and strategic investments
- Security creation, perfection and enforcement
- Financial disputes, recoveries and enforcement proceedings
Our approach combines careful legal analysis with practical advice, helping clients identify risks, understand their options and progress transactions efficiently.
Industry experience
We advise banks, non-bank financial institutions, insurers, investors, borrowers and corporate groups operating across a range of industries.
Our work frequently involves coordinating financing, corporate, regulatory, tax and dispute-resolution considerations within a single matter. Where transactions involve multiple jurisdictions, we work alongside international counsel and other professional advisers to provide coordinated Sri Lankan legal support.
We aim to give clients clear and commercially grounded advice throughout the life of a transaction from initial structuring and due diligence to documentation, closing, compliance and enforcement.
