Globe’s corporate legal team has been recognized in The Legal 500: GC Powerlist Philippines Teams 2024, marking a significant achievement for the company.

This prestigious listing, which for the first time focused on in-house legal teams rather than individual lawyers, acknowledges the strategic role of legal expertise in driving organizational success.

The ceremony took place at the V&A Law Center in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Atty. Marisalve Ciocson-Co, Globe’s Chief Compliance Officer, SVP for Legal and Compliance, and Assistant Corporate Secretary, accepted the certificate of recognition for Globe.

Ciocson-Co was joined by lawyers Ria Caganda-Vistan, Jing Pizarro-Yam, Mayee D. Macaraig, Claris A. Timbang, Cynthia Peredo-Millan, Mika Sarmiento-Tacandong, Jill V. Genio, Karen A. Visda, and Pat Hernandez-Umali.

“This commendation from The Legal 500 is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our entire legal team. Their strategic approach to legal matters has been instrumental in supporting Globe’s business objectives and maintaining our commitment to corporate governance and compliance. We are proud of this accomplishment and will continue to strive for excellence in all our legal endeavors,” said Atty. Froilan Castelo, General Counsel and Head of the Corporate and Legal Services Group at Globe.

The Legal 500 is a UK-based globally respected legal research and publishing company founded in 1987. It has been evaluating and ranking law firms and in-house lawyers in over 150 jurisdictions. This year’s focus on legal teams rather than individuals underscores the importance of collaborative efforts in corporate legal departments.

The recognition of the Globe legal team’s contributions builds on last year’s inclusion of Ciocson-Co in the Legal 500’s GC Powerlist Southeast Asia, further solidifying the company’s reputation for legal excellence and innovation in the corporate world.
