Finding a lawyer should not depend on who you know.

For most people in Sri Lanka, the way to find a lawyer is still to ask a relative, a neighbour or someone at the kachcheri. That works if you know the right person. It does not work if you have just moved to Kurunegala, live in Dubai and need someone to look after your land in Matara, or would rather speak to a lawyer in Tamil.

thelaw.lk lists Attorneys-at-Law by city, practice area, court and language, so anyone can find a lawyer close to the court that will hear their case, read what they do in plain language, and contact them directly.

For the profession

Lawyers carry hundreds of next dates in paper diaries, chase clients by phone before every hearing, and write receipts by hand. Our practice software turns that into one diary, automatic SMS reminders and online payments, on a phone in the court corridor or a desktop in chambers.

What we are not

thelaw.lk is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. We do not rank lawyers by payment, and we do not take a share of their fees.
