Boasting ‘exceptional level of professionalism’, along with ’straightforward and sound business advice’, the commercial and corporate practice at Tiruchelvam Associates sees its greatest strength in the breadth and depth of its corporate law experience, advising on a broad spectrum of transactional matters and shareholder divestments, corporate governance and due diligence services, along with the setting up of companies in heavily regulated sectors such as pharmaceuticals and non-profits. The team is especially experienced in cross-jurisdictional work, regularly being retained for investment-related matters from several Asian jurisdictions.  Asanka Abeysekera and Nirosha Peiris co-head the team, while Laila Nasry is considered a port of call for commercial transactions and pharmaceutical sector-related matters.
