  Founded in Manila in 1901 and one of the oldest in the Philippines, Siguion Reyna, Montecillo & Ongsiako (“SRMO”) is an institution in Philippine law practice. The firm’s reputation and expertise comes from having dealt with a wide range of clients. With a solid domestic client base consisting of the Philippines’ largest corporations as well as some of its most eminent individuals and families, the firm also represents clients from all over the world. The firm counts many Fortune 500 companies from the United States, Canada, Europe (primarily the UK, Germany, Sweden and Italy), Japan and Southeast Asia (primarily Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong) among its international clients, together with a majority of the Philippines’ Top 200 corporations. Its clients have interests in various industries, including airlines, international banks, manufacturers, telecommunication companies, media, and power and utility companies. The firm’s offices are located in the Philippines’ central business district.

The firm takes pride in its traditional values that have guided a century of law practice and earned it a reputation for consummate professionalism and excellence. But the firm does not shy away from the “cutting edge,” applying the latest legal and out-of-the-box thinking to a client’s problem, approaching it creatively, in a multi-disciplinary manner. Many of the law firm’s alumni have gone on to contribute to the development of Philippine law, jurisprudence and politics, as jurists, legislators, cabinet secretaries, and founders of new law firms.
