We are a law office engaged in
general practice with principal office located in Makati City,
Philippines. On the one hand, we act as counsel to our clients
in any proceeding; on the other, we also work as a research and
consulting company, purveying all sorts of information and opinions
on any question of law, politics and related subjects. Our field
of practice ranges from construction arbitration to litigation
in the regular courts and quasi-judicial bodies.
In the course of our litigation
experience, our lawyers have been honed not only in the theory
of the law as taught in the rarified isolation of the law colleges
where monastic pursuit of reason and logic often divorces itself
from reality but, more importantly, our lawyers have been trained
in the practice of the law, as applied and tested in the crucible
of advocacy.
In construction arbitration,
we represent contractors in various kinds of controversies with
project owners, engaged principally in the construction of foundation
and vertical works, in which proceedings we have tackled legal
and factual questions arising from disputes on the structural
integrity of bored piles and diaphragm walls, the validity of
pile dynamic tests, change orders, delay and other contract violations.
In court litigation, we represent
parties in controversies of a purely civil nature, involving
collection suits for sums of money, obligations and contracts,
persons and family relations, ownership of real and personal
properties, testate and intestate proceedings, citizenship and
the like.
We also handle judicial and extra-judicial
foreclosure of chattel and real estate mortgages, in which our
clients are usually banks and financing companies.
In quasi-judicial bodies, we
handle intra-corporate controversies involving corporations and
stockholders before the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
Department of Justice, the Ombudsman, the Toll Regulatory Board
are only a few of government agencies where we have appeared
and gathered experience.
We have also defended clients
in criminal cases but this field of practice is only peripheral
to the firm’s focus.
Our law office will advise you
on the law, both in theory and in practice.As Justice Holmes
said:
"The life of law has not been logic, it has been
experience."
