The Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) and the Law Council of Australia have formalized their collaboration through a Memorandum of Understanding signed in Seoul, South Korea. The agreement was inked during the 39th LAWASIA Conference, with Tania Wolff, President of the Law Council of Australia, and Rajeev Amarasuriya, President of BASL, signing on behalf of their respective organizations.

Established in 1933, the Law Council of Australia serves as the national representative body for the legal profession in Australia, with over 107,000 lawyers under its umbrella. Represented through law societies and bar associations, as well as 'Law Firms Australia', the Law Council advocates for the Australian legal system on both national and international fronts.

The primary focus of the collaboration between BASL and the Law Council of Australia is to foster cooperation and knowledge exchange between lawyers from both nations, with a shared dedication to upholding the Rule of Law, preserving the independence of the legal profession, and ensuring the independence of the judiciary.
