Nothing matches that combination.
This page holds every lawyer in Colombo whose working language we can trace to a published source. If you know a provider that belongs here, tell us and include where the language is stated.
Where these came from
7 of the 11 come from the UK Foreign Office's Find a professional service abroad. The others come from a German diplomatic mission (3) and a French diplomatic mission. Some of these are listed on the UK FCDO's Find a professional service abroad, which lists lawyers abroad and says every one of them has confirmed it can provide services in English. The German Embassy in Colombo publishes these lists of English-speaking lawyers in Sri Lanka and the Maldives and of translators for German. The French Embassy in Colombo publishes a liste de notoriete of practitioners, marking those who work in French.
All 11 sit on an official list, published by a body with nothing to sell.
Where in Colombo
Spread across 3 postcodes: 00003 (1), 00400 (1), 01200 (1). 8 of the 11 give no postcode.
If none of these fits
If none of these fits, the nearest lawyers we list are in Madurai (1, 384 km away), Kochi (4, 518 km away) and Coimbatore (2, 556 km away). Colombo itself also has 11 doctors, 3 dentists, 2 schools and 1 therapist and 1 more services listed. A gap here means we have not found a source we can cite, not that nobody exists.
