Bridjin enters Transaction Advisory Space with one of Sri Lankas largest Mergers Acquisitions Deals in recent years

One of Sri Lanka’s largest mergers and acquisitions was recently concluded between the promoter shareholders of East West Properties PLC and business magnate Dhammika Perera with Brigjin as the transaction advisor to the promoter shareholders.

The landmark transaction on the divestiture of a 77.4% stake of East West Properties PLC was the first by Bridjin in the transaction space, and was closed in record time positioning the company as a dynamic new player in the transaction advisory space.


The transaction was led by Geeth Balasuriya, Managing Director of Bridjin. Commenting on the deal he said,


“We are happy to support strategic transitions like this, especially in a market where speed, trust, and precision are essential.

The Bridjin team worked closely with the founding family of East West Properties PLC, Nahil Wijesuriya, Vajira Wijesuriya and Ms. Anika Wijesuriya, throughout the process.
