Sudath Perera

The founder of Sudath Perera Associates, Sudath has crafted a unique brand of legal services ensuring that the firm was a success from its inception. Today the firm boasts a strong client base of well-known local and multinational companies.

Sudath was called to the Bar of the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka in 1991. He gained invaluable experience working with several senior lawyers, including a leading Presidents Counsel of the Colombo Bar.

In 1995 he became a partner at Paul Ratnayeke Associates and was instrumental in establishing the litigation, conveyancing, labour and employment law, intellectual property and company secretarial divisions within the firm. His reputation for untiring work and his ethic of “never say never” led the firm’s litigation division to national preeminence.

While setting the standard for litigation practice, Sudath has also acquired broad expertise in conveyancing, energy law, immigration, administrative law and intellectual property law with special emphasis on brand protection, anti-counterfeit and piracy work.

Sudath is a member of the Bar Association of Sri Lanka, the International Bar Association, the Asian Patent Attorneys Association, the International Trademark Association and the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals.

He has also served on the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka and as a Director on the Export Development Board under the Board of Foreign Investment. He currently serves on the Board of the investment firm Investec Capital.
