Hire the Best Legal Consultants
in Sri Lanka

Attorney-at-Law focused on commercial contracting and data privacy, with a specialism in enterprise AI and SaaS. Most recent role: in-house with a Stockholm-based AI-SaaS company, running the contracting side of a multi-jurisdictional deal flow. NDAs, MSAs, DPAs, SLAs, Order Forms, partnership and reseller agreements, with the negotiation that goes with them. Counterparties across EU, UK, US and UAE. Day-to-day work split between commercial drafting, GDPR documentation (DPAs, SCCs, TIAs, subprocessor governance), and translating contractual obligations into something a non-legal business team can actually act on. Alongside that work, I regularly draft and review the everyday commercial documents most businesses need: NDAs and confidentiality agreements, service agreements, independent contractor and employment contracts, partnership and shareholder agreements, terms of use, privacy policies, IP assignments and licensing agreements, SAFEs, MoUs, letters of demand, and general legal correspondence. Smaller projects get the same care as the larger ones; the only real difference is scope. Adjacent capability: ISO 27001 and SOC 2 readiness programme design, vendor due diligence responses, RFP and procurement questionnaires, and the policy infrastructure behind a credible compliance posture. I follow the EU AI Act, GDPR, DORA, and NIS2 closely because the SaaS work makes me. Qualifications: • LL.B. (Hons), University of London (Second Class Honours, Upper Division) • LL.M. International Business Law, University of Wales Institute Cardiff • Attorney-at-Law, Incorporated Council of Legal Education, Sri Lanka • Pursuing CIPP/E • Certificates in Cloud Computing Law and AI & Law Before SaaS: offshore commercial work with an Australian firm in Sydney, early-career conveyancing and litigation support in Sri Lanka, and CCO of a Canadian food-tech startup. A note on the Upwork side: I was Top Rated Plus at 100% JSS before stepping back for two years to focus on the in-house work. I'm rebuilding here now with selective engagements. The current JSS reflects the gap, not the quality of recent work. Where I'm useful: SaaS and AI vendors negotiating with enterprise customers, founders and small businesses that need clean, enforceable everyday contracts, and cross-border work where one lawyer holding the whole picture beats three handling pieces of it.

I help SaaS, tech platforms, startups, and service businesses by drafting enforceable commercial contracts and compliance documentation that mitigate risk and support business outcomes. My deliverables include GDPR/CCPA-aligned Privacy Policies, Terms & Conditions, NDAs, SaaS vendor contracts, and tailored commercial agreements — all crafted with commercial context, not just legal formality. With Big-4, HSBC CPO, and C-suite leadership experience, I surface and address commercial and compliance risk upfront — ensuring legal documents are practical, enforceable, and usable by IT, procurement, finance, risk, and senior management alike. I combine legal drafting with business insight so that your contracts protect you and advance your operations. Before freelancing, I led business advisory & procurement at global firms, negotiated high-value contracts across jurisdictions, and designed compliance frameworks for enterprise clients. My work focuses on clarity, enforceability, and real-world risk attenuation. When you work with me, you get contracts and policies that are: • Built for enforceability and negotiation outcomes • Aligned with GDPR, CCPA, and industry best practices • Grounded in commercial and regulatory insight I support international clients with contract drafting, review, risk analysis, compliance documentation, and strategy. If you want legal deliverables that work in business reality, not just on paper, I can help ! I began my career at Ernst & Young, working across information security and business advisory engagements involving IT risk, data security, investment evaluations etc. I later served at HSBC as Chief Procurement Officer, responsible for vendor negotiations, service contracts, compliance, and the full contract management lifecycle. I have also operated at C-suite level as a CEO in the energy sector, where legal decisions had immediate operational, regulatory, and commercial consequences. That background defines how I work today. When I draft or review a contract, I do so with a clear understanding of how it will be read and challenged by IT teams, procurement, finance, risk, compliance, and senior management. I understand approval pressures, negotiation dynamics, and the practical risks that arise when contracts are drafted without commercial context. I now operate as a legal professional and Partner at a Legal Process Outsourcing consultancy, supporting international clients with contract drafting, review, and risk analysis. My work sits at the intersection of law, business, technology, and governance, informed by multinational exposure and hands-on executive experience. If you are looking for legal support grounded in how businesses actually function — particularly in technology-driven or service-based environments — my approach is practical, commercial, and execution-focused.
