Not for profit
Building upon the legacy of our founders, Dr. Neelan and Sithie Tiruchelvam, who were widely recognised for their pioneering and influential roles in the not-for-profit sector, the Firm has earned an esteemed reputation among not-for-profit organisations. It is highly regarded by both local and international NGOs.
The firm offers expert advice on establishing the most appropriate structure, tailored to the specific requirements and objectives of our clients. We provide guidance on various organisational forms, including companies limited by guarantee, trusts, and voluntary social service organisations at the district level. Our services extend to registration with the NGO Secretariat, as well as addressing ancillary matters such as foreign funding, banking, and obtaining special permissions from the Central Bank of Sri Lanka for Special Foreign Currency Accounts (SFCA). Additionally, we offer counsel on NGO taxation, labour laws, property issues, immigration matters, Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), project-related contracts, policy drafting, and conducting inquiries into partner organisations.
We view our work in this sector as a significant contribution to the services our clients provide to the nation.
