| The present
day Corporate Lawyer, who is employed by an
organization “manages” the legal
affairs of such organization and plays a vital
and an integral role. His/Her role is not, any
more limited to drafting and preparing court
documents and attending to court cases as an
“instructing attorney”, and/or drafting
conveyances and attesting same. Today’s
Corporate Lawyer must possess a fair amount
of knowledge in all areas of law and must be
ready and prepared to give advice to the top
management of the organization as and when required.
Hence today’s Corporate Lawyer has to
be fully aware of the recent developments in
all aspects of law in order to perform his or
her duties confidently and in an efficient manner.
In order to add value to the
Corporate Lawyers, the Association of Corporate
Lawyers Sri Lanka (ACL) has played a vital role
too. The ACL has over the years, contributed
well to the Corporate Lawyer by organizing numerous
seminars, workshops, conferences and other forums
in order to keep the Corporate Lawyer up to
date with various aspects and Scholars of Law
here and abroad to deliver lectures in such
forums and that the Corporate Lawyer was richer
in knowledge at the end of the day.
While the ACL has performed
well in the past by bringing the Corporate Lawyer
up to date with law, it has also strived continuously
to bring the Corporate Lawyer face to face with
the fellow lawyers in a lighter vein. The social
gatherings and outings organized by the ACL,
has given the Corporate Lawyer an opportunity
to get to know his/her fellow lawyers and to
enjoy fellowship.
Presently the ACL is in the
process of creating a Data Base, which shall
contain necessary details of all Corporate Lawyers
in order to communicate the activities and future
plans of ACL.
Now the opportunity is available
to all of you to become a member of ACL and
to reap the benefits it offers you. |
