The firm of considered counsel, since 1995
An independent Sri Lankan corporate and commercial law firm. Seven specialised disciplines. One vision, Ethical values, Highest standards.
— The story
A practice founded on standards — and the discipline to keep them
Chambers Colombo was established in 1995, to advise Sri Lankan and international clients on the corporate and commercial law matters that benefit from specialist counsel.
In the three decades since, the firm has grown to a team of professionals working across seven disciplines. Its clients include local enterprises, multinationals entering the Sri Lankan market, financial institutions, governments, and individuals seeking counsel on matters of consequence.
In 2015, the firm became one of the first in Sri Lanka to obtain ISO 9001 certification for the management of its legal services — a commitment to the standards by which client matters are managed, that has been renewed in every subsequent cycle.

The standards by which the firm measures itself
Four principles guide the firm’s day-to-day work — articulated in its quality manual, and reflected in the way it manages client matters.
01IndependenceA firm answerable only to its clients, its lawyers, and the standards of the profession — never to a parent network or external owner.
02SpecialisationSeven disciplines, each led by lawyers who concentrate in them — not generalists who occasionally venture in.
03ProcessAn ISO-certified quality management system that defines how matters are taken on, conducted, and concluded — and how lessons are reflected back into practice.
04RestraintCounsel calibrated to the matter at hand. The firm does not over-engineer; nor does it under-prepare.

Certified processes
Instilled trust
ISO 9001:2015 is an internationally recognised standard for quality management systems. Achieving certification signals to clients and counterparties that the firm has undergone a rigorous assessment — and that its systems for managing client matters meet defined standards of quality.
For Chambers Colombo, the certification reinforces a long-standing commitment: that the systems by which client matters are managed are adequately defined, corrective action is functional, and the firm’s process remains accountable. The certification has been renewed in every assessment cycle since 2015.
