Principal Solicitor / Director

Manthi Upeka Kularatne

Meraki Lawyers was founded by principal solicitor Manthi Upeka Kularatne, a leading lawyer with years of work experience in Property Law and Wills & Estate Administration. Her exceptional experience and talent have always been guided by a steadfast passion for law.

Manthi utilizes her skills to help with causes she is passionate about while engaging with clients in an authentic, heartfelt way.

She cares about working proactively to guarantee the best possible outcome for her clients, while ensuring they feel calm and cared for through the most complex legal challenges.

Meraki Lawyers was created by Manthi to be an approachable, open, and affordable solution for anyone in the community. She believes that legal services should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their situation.

Manthi believes that the essence of Meraki Lawyers comes down to the Greek translation of Meraki, which means to do things with passion and all the heart, to put the essence of ourselves into our work. That is the driving force behind her legal practice.
