AIJA will hold the two day conference from February 09 collaborating with the Bar Association of Sri Lanka, backed by the Legal Support Forum (LSF) an industry body made up law and outsourcing firms.

"The speakers will discuss and examine topics that will be of interest to lawyers and the business community," the organizers said in a statement.

"The potential benefits to Sri Lanka are enormous in terms of foreign exchange earnings and employment opportunities."

Sri Lanka has skilled human resources, relatively cheaper cost, state endorsement of the industry and a legal system based in large part on principles of English law, the conference organizers said.
