In February of 2021, the Asia Business Law Journal (“ABLJ”) recognized the Firm as “The Best New Law Firm for 2020” in the Philippine Law Firm Awards category. The ABLJ gave the award in recognition of the significance of the matters the Firm handled and the various testimonials from clients, both foreign and domestic, as well as foreign co-counsels from international law firms, who all attested to the brand of excellence of SL Law.[ See https://law.asia/philippines-law-firm-awards-2020/ (last viewed: 30 June 2022).] According to one of the client testimonials that the ABLJ quoted, “I have been working on project financings for nearly 40 years, including 17 years as an investment banker, and have dealt with nearly every major Wall Street firm. I can categorically state that Beth (Loriega) and her team rank among the best.”
