Client feedback: 32nd edition (2022/2023)
"J&C were very responsive and
always made themselves available despite the time difference with the UK. They never missed a deadline and would keep us updated. The work that they completed was of an excellent standard and we would know that it would be completed to a very high standard. Additionally, the members of J&C we worked with were all very friendly and we very much enjoyed working with them."
"Unlike many lawyers in
Sri Lanka,
Julius & Creasy lawyers were very prompt and very passionate about their undertakings."
