True to the values adhered to by its founding partners, Julius & Creasy continues to assist the community in contributing towards its social and economic development by readily providing assistance and resources to deserving causes.

Deeply aware of its social responsibilities, the Firm has been fulfilling these obligations to the community it serves in several ways. Improving access to justice for those less privileged is one such way. It established a practice of offering its professional services gratis to several interest groups, societies and associations which are engaged in serving marginalized groups and/or dedicated to a specific cause. In addition, as well as supporting various charitable trusts and other charities, the Firm believes that by encouraging legal ethics and promoting education, it can harness its legal resources to help address social and thereby national issues.

Following the tsunami of December 2004, the Firm created trusts and other charitable entities for countless corporate bodies and banks to facilitate their relief efforts in the aftermath of the tsunami. By providing its professional services free of charge, the Firm played a pivotal role in establishing the requisite legal framework to aid those in need, in an efficient and timely manner.

In fact, Julius & Creasy continues to provide secretarial services free of charge to charitable trusts set up inter alia, for differently-abled children. The Firm is keen to assist those active interest groups who may not possess sufficient financial resources to obtain the necessary professional advice to legalise their existence. For example, in the past the Firm has, on a pro bono basis, assisted various NGOs involved in humanitarian work to register and establish themselves in Sri Lanka.

Through its trustee company, Jacey Trust Services (Private) Limited, the Firm continues to contribute and channel its legal expertise at no cost to its clients. Many of the partners, associates and other staff members of the Firm serve and assist in an advisory capacity on boards and committees of management administering charitable activities, in keeping with the Firm’s philosophy of reaching out and contributing towards social welfare.
