Leading this event was the debonaire Ilonggo lawyer Mark Sarabia Gorriceta, the firm’s managing partner and one of Asia Business Law Journal/ Vantage Asia’s top 100 Lawyers.

Also in tow were his partners and counsels.

As excitedly quipped by Atty. Gorriceta in his welcome remarks, “It has been almost a month since we held CATALYST – our Law Firm’s Thanksgiving and Appreciation Night, but I’m still in my celebratory spirit. I cannot help but be grateful to our friends and clients who trusted us since Day 1. I remember how the Firm was built in 2015 and how much it has grown from a small law office to a top-tier firm that industry leaders and the country can trust. I would also like to thank all my partners, counsels, associates, and our support team; we have so much to be thankful for because of your hard work and dedication to the firm. Here’s to our clients, friends, and industry leaders – we are looking to complete more projects and cases with you in the years to come. Thank you everyone!”

Cheers!
