Why we are different

Our distinctive structure defines our approach.  We maintain a ratio of associates to partners significantly below that of other firms.  We focus on matters that require the attention, extensive experience and sophistication of our partners.  We limit the number and type of matters we undertake.  Our system of lock-step compensation promotes a careful selection of matters as well as the flexibility to bring the right expertise to bear without regard to factors extrinsic to providing the best service and advice.  We work together on a task-force basis on all of our matters, bringing to bear the requisite mix of people and expertise across practice areas.  Our structure and approach attract talented and entrepreneurial lawyers, who enable us to achieve excellent results for our clients in complex and critical matters.

From our beginnings, we wanted to build a firm with an environment where attorneys could practice the profession of law in a manner consistent with what they envisioned when they sought out a legal career.  We combine our passion and pride with sensitivity and understanding to deliver true value to our clients. Even more importantly, we created a firm that does right by its clients—from the way we approach them to the way we handle their legal matters.

What truly sets us apart as a law firm, however, is how we view our relationships with clients. At Dissanayake & Dissanayaka, our dedication to serving and supporting the client relationship infuses and underlines everything we do. We never forget that our clients, just like us, are real people facing real-world challenges and opportunities.

That single-minded focus on our clients as people is what allows us to build strong, trustworthy and lasting relationships with them. We are hard-working lawyers who deliver the goods. But more importantly, we treat our clients as real people who deserve our time, attention, and respect. That’s what sets us apart.

So how can we help you today?
