Labour, Employment and Immigration

Practical and cost-effective solutions for your labour, employment and immigration issues

Just as the labour, employment and immigration landscape is constantly changing and evolving, so are the models on which it is based and the laws governing this area. Our focus is on helping employers to manage their relationships with their employees. We assist with processes to ensure our clients’ employment policies and practices comply with Sri Lankan laws and regulations as well as international labour standards. Since labour and employment disputes can be disruptive to a company’s operations and reputation, we strive to find practical and efficient solutions to minimize the impact on our clients.

As a leading employment and labour law firm, we field a team of experts who advise clients on a range of matters, including the preparation and review of employment contracts, employee remuneration and benefits, disciplinary proceedings, termination and resignation, employee disputes and trade union disputes, workmen’s compensation and the preparation of employment policies and handbooks. We have extensive experience in advising multinational clients on the compatibility of international labour regulations with Sri Lankan laws. This makes us competent and well-equipped to handle complex cross-border employment matters.

In the area of immigration, we extend a full spectrum of legal services for individuals and families. We cover the preparation and review of visa applications, work permits and permanent residency applications. Since we understand the importance of having a skilled and diverse workforce, we work towards enabling our clients to bring in the talent they need to achieve success.

Our goal is to provide the most practical and cost-effective solutions to our clients’ labour, employment and immigration issues. We take the time and effort to understand our client’s particular situation in order to offer optimal solutions.
