Dear Lora, the problem is that lawyers can give you false advice and you only find out much later, if that happens there is almost nothing you can do because in Srilanka they say that the lawyer has given you the wrong advice but they have not broken the law. It's just another reason to think twice before committing to investing here.
I can recommend Mr Fairooz Marikar of Galle Fort. He is honest and speaks good english. He will be able to help you. My office is just next to his on the Courts Square so if you need any other advice I would be please to assist you free of charge if need be.
