Global Footprint
Coverage is not the same as capability. What follows is the working map — every jurisdiction below sits inside a published local-facts database with court, regulator, statute and bar-admission data maintained for active matters.
Of Counsel · Named Representation
No United States attorney practices foreign law. When a matter touches the substantive law of another jurisdiction, it is handled by counsel admitted by the relevant bar. The named attorneys below are the standing jurisdiction leads; additional Of Counsel are engaged matter-by-matter and disclosed at the point of retainer.

“My approach always prioritizes exhaustive due diligence. It is the cornerstone of mitigating risk and ensuring that any acquisition in Colombia is a sound and secure investment.”
Principal Attorney · Sole Owner
Founder · Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C.
Mr. Sriskandarajah founded the firm in 1997 and remains its sole owner. His domestic United States practice spans five jurisdictions — Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, New Jersey and New York — and includes the personal authorship of an amendment to the Virginia equitable-distribution statute. He began his career as a prosecutor.
The international practice is his response to a specific pattern: United States clients with foreign exposure who need one relationship to hold the entire matter, and foreign clients whose work touches the United States and who will not be handed off at the water’s edge. Every international engagement is his, coordinated with jurisdiction-admitted Of Counsel who sign the pleadings where pleadings are required.

Engage
Initial consultations are by appointment only and begin with a conflicts clearance. Telephone intake operates twenty-four hours per day. If the matter is time-sensitive — a border crossing, a sanctions deadline, a closing window — say so in the first sentence and we will route accordingly.
Contacting the firm does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please do not send confidential information until a conflicts check and engagement letter have been completed.
