Our Legacy

AFA was established by Anton Fernando, a distinguished figure in the legal community. Over time, A.M. Shanil Fernando joined the firm, collaborating with Anton Fernando’s junior partners. Anton’s brother, Stanly Fernando, also made a significant mark as a renowned tax lawyer. In recognition of his remarkable 50-year career, Anton Fernando was celebrated at the Panadura High Court, where his contributions were honored, and his photographs were displayed at the Bar Association office in Panadura.

 

Today, under the leadership of our managing partner, Shanil Fernando, AFA continues to thrive. We are proud that many of Anton Fernando’s original clients remain with us, a testament to the enduring trust and excellence that defines our practice.
