Vajira Samaratne

Vajira Samaratne is a corporate attorney in the Los Angeles area who works with businesses to handle legal matters in a grounded, practical way. He advises startups, nonprofits, private companies, investors, and public companies, supporting them in areas such as regulatory compliance, contract review, mergers and acquisitions diligence, employment matters, securities issues, and risk management. His work is centered on helping clients clearly understand their legal position so they can make informed choices that support stability and long-term direction.

In his practice, he provides both strategic guidance and ongoing legal support. He prepares and reviews agreements, advises boards and leadership teams, assists with financing matters, and helps structure acquisitions. He also addresses legal issues that arise during normal business operations, ensuring continuity and compliance as organizations evolve. His approach is intentional and measured, with an emphasis on clear explanation rather than urgency. Clients are guided through legal considerations step by step so they can evaluate risks and options with confidence.

His interest in law developed from a respect for order, fairness, and responsibility. He was drawn to the structured thinking required to assess complex situations and the accountability involved in advising others. The legal profession offered a setting where careful reasoning and service intersect. Over time, this foundation shaped a methodical approach to legal practice, focused on preparation, accuracy, and consistency rather than quick solutions.

Working with a wide range of clients has influenced how he approaches legal counsel. He regularly advises organizations across different industries, each operating under its own regulations, expectations, and challenges. This exposure has reinforced the importance of context when providing guidance. Instead of offering uniform answers, he tailors his counsel to the realities of each client’s business environment. Clients value his ability to explain legal issues in clear terms that connect directly to practical business decisions.

His professional conduct is guided by reliability, discipline, and integrity. He manages his workload carefully, pays close attention to detail, and remains committed to staying informed through continued legal education and research. He also serves a global client base and approaches each professional relationship with respect and cultural awareness, recognizing the importance of perspective in effective legal counsel.

Vajira maintains balance outside of his legal work through activities that support reflection and focus. He values travel and learning about different cultures, enjoys cooking and sharing meals, and spends time reading fiction and biographies. He stays active through running and pickleball, using this time to organize his thoughts and reset.
