F.J. & G. de Saram, Sri Lanka’s leading corporate and commercial law firm founded over 175 years ago, and MTI Consulting have set up a joint venture called Legal Source which offers legal process outsourcing services to international and local clients. 

The services offered include Contract Management, Legal Research, Legal Support Services and Intellectual Property Documentation. “Understanding the timely need for customised legal outsourcing solutions, we are excited to launch Legal Source in partnership with MTI Consulting. Our years of expertise in handling legal matters combined with MTI’s experience in strategy and market research will ensure that our clients receive the highest quality of service while ensuring value for money,” said Shehara Varia, Partner at F.J. & G. de Saram and Director of Legal Source.

Commenting on the venture, MTI CEO Hilmy Cader said: “Today any business, be it a start-up or a multinational, has to deal with cumbersome legal aspects in their respective line of business.
