Since its inception, the lawyers of the Firm have continued to provide quality legal representation to a multitude of clients. After years of litigating construction cases as principals in the predecessor law firm (PABLAW), we offer more than 30 years of combined experience and practice in construction law. The Firm’s Of Counsel, Atty. Custodio O. Parlade, is a highly-regarded expert in the construction industry and has written several books on dispute resolution. 

  In addition to construction, the Firm has likewise developed a solid reputation in many other areas of the law.

The Firm has its roots from Panganiban Benitez Parlade & Africa or PABLAW, which was renamed in 1996 as Benitez Parlade Africa Herrera Parlade & Panga, when one of its founding partners, Atty. Artemio Panganiban, was appointed as Associate Justice, and later Chief Justice, of the Supreme Court of the Philippines. 

  The retirement in December 2004 of two senior partners of PABLAW, Justice Oscar Herrera and Commissioner Leopoldo Africa, prompted four of PABLAW’s senior partners to organize a new partnership. Originally organized as the PARLADE HILDAWA PARLADE & ECO Law Offices (PHPELAW), spearheaded by Claro V. Parlade, Simeon Hildawa, Ma. Cymbeline Borres-Parlade, and Rolando O. Eco, the firm has been reorganized as PARLADE HILDAWA PARLADE ECO & PANGA  (PHPEPLAW) upon the return to the partnership of Salvador S. Panga, Jr.  Dean Custodio O. Parlade, a legal luminary, renowned international arbitrator and noted author, serves as the firm’s Of Counsel.  ]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 14 Apr 2008 14:49:35 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.phpeplaw.com/home/history/</link><guid>http://www.phpeplaw.com/home/history/</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[PHPEPLaw]]></title><description><![CDATA[
