With an eye on Asia’s increasing mergers and acquisitions, Lambino Law is blazing a trail in the technology space, helping investors understand the range of possibilities presented by Industry 4.0 in the Philippines.

“With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution comes new technologies such as blockchain, cryptocurrencies and digital forensics – things that are driving economic growth and the legal framework of countries,” says Mary Rhauline Lambino-Torres, managing partner. “We see that in the movement of investments towards the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries.”

As a boutique firm specialising in technology law, Lambino Law sees the best opportunities in smart cities, sustainable solutions such as the green and ocean economies, and financial technologies (fintech). Already, the firm is advising investors from Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China on the prospects for developing smart cities across the Philippines. It also keeps fintech enterprises abreast of regulations on virtual currency exchanges, initial coin offerings and securities token offerings in the Philippines and the rest of Southeast Asia.

A full-service law firm, Lambino Law also provides litigation support, corporate services such as company registration and central bank licencing, and advisory on tax and labour issues.

Lambino Law is keen on becoming a digital asset agent for companies that want to issue asset-backed tokens within Southeast Asia, and building expertise on data privacy, cybersecurity, anti-money-laundering and other compliance issues in the fintech field. The firm also aims to grow as the preferred partner of international law firms in the Philippines.

“Lambino Law stands for integrity, technology and solutions – we see ourselves leaning towards innovative and sustainable solutions for companies,” Lambino-Torres says. “We are a young firm with very dynamic lawyers who are part of the generation that has a clear understanding and familiarity with technology, and we can relate this to businesses, the economy and the law.”
