Julius & Creasy

Julius & Creasy’s banking and finance team, jointly led by Janaki Kumaraguru and Priya Sivagananathan, is especially well regarded for its advisory work on cross-border lending, aircraft leasing, and financial regulatory matters. The firm regularly acts as local counsel to international lenders on syndicated loans to the Government of Sri Lanka and major domestic entities, and provides opinions on derivatives, ISDA documentation, and sub-custodianship issues. It is also a longstanding adviser to foreign lessors and trustees in aviation finance, an area where the team holds particular technical expertise. The practice is further noted for its ability to advise on banking regulation, trade finance, and asset-backed financing under Sri Lanka’s evolving regulatory framework.
