Regulatory clarity and execution certainty for investors and growth businesses.
JAAR Law is a boutique strategic investment, legal and regulatory advisory firm based in Sri Lanka.
We advise foreign investors, multinational groups, and high-growth companies on entering, structuring, and scaling their operations in Sri Lanka. Our work is grounded in commercial understanding and driven by execution.
We do not stop at legal advice. From regulatory approvals and licensing to governance frameworks and operational readiness, we remain engaged until the business is fully operational.
We advise on market entry strategy, cross-border structuring, shareholder arrangements, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, and commercial contracting. Our advice is aligned to investor objectives and the practical realities of operating in Sri Lanka.
We provide end-to-end support for regulatory approvals and execution, including BOI incentive approvals, Colombo Port City AP/BSI licensing, statutory filings, company incorporation, banking support, and coordination with regulators until operations are live.
Beyond project-based advisory and approvals, we support clients with ongoing legal, regulatory, and compliance requirements, including continuous monitoring of regulatory developments relevant to their operations. This includes regulatory compliance monitoring, statutory filings, contract management, governance support, and advisory on evolving regulatory obligations — ensuring businesses remain compliant as they scale and operate in Sri Lanka. Our role is to provide continuity, clarity, and risk management well beyond the initial setup phase.
Through JAAR Secretaries, our governance and company secretarial arm, we support boards and investors with statutory compliance, governance frameworks, board processes, and independent whistleblowing mechanisms that enhance accountability and long-term resilience.
Our advice is shaped by industry realities, not just legal frameworks.
