Additional Legal Services

Beyond corporate, commercial, and M&A law, ARA offers a range of specialized services in other areas of law, including:

  • Labour and Employment Law:
    Providing advice on employment contracts, dispute resolution, and compliance with labour laws.
  • Intellectual Property Law:
    Protecting clients’ intellectual property through patents, trademarks, copyrights, and licensing agreements.
  • Taxation:
    Offering guidance on tax planning and compliance, particularly in relation to corporate taxation and cross-border transactions.
  • Securities Law:
    Our team provides comprehensive legal support in the complex and highly regulated area of securities law. We are committed to guiding clients through the ever-evolving landscape of financial markets with clarity, precision, and a strategic approach.

    Whether advising on regulatory compliance, public offerings, private placements, or disclosure obligations, we work closely with our clients—ranging from public companies to other market participants—to ensure they meet their legal responsibilities and business objectives. Our team is well-versed in navigating the requirements set by securities regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka (SEC), Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) and Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU).

    We also assist clients with corporate governance matters, shareholder agreements, insider trading policies, and securities litigation. Our approach is proactive and preventative, helping clients identify and address potential risks before they become legal issues.

    In the event of disputes or investigations, we are equipped to represent clients in enforcement actions and regulatory hearings. With a strong foundation in both advisory and litigation work, we strive to protect our clients’ interests while resolving matters as efficiently and favorably as possible.

    Our goal is to deliver clear, actionable advice that supports informed decision-making in all securities-related matters—helping clients maintain compliance, foster investor confidence, and support long-term growth.
