Description
Gruba Caganda Advincula Melo & de la Fuente (“GrubaLaw” formerly ZGLaw) is a mid-sized, full-service law firm representing and advising various local and foreign clients in the Philippines. We are highly regarded for our expertise on contentious and advisory tax. In the past years, we have been consistently recognized by our peers and legal publications for our Tax practice, as well as our practice in Banking & Finance, Mergers & Acquisitions, and Dispute Resolution.
Gruba Law was founded in 1993 by the late Daisy G. Zambrano and Lily K. Gruba. Starting out as the legal department of a commercial bank, the practice quickly grew into litigation and labor. Lily served in government as Undersecretary for the Department of Finance in 1998. The tax and corporate practice was then established and continued to grow, with the Firm handling many landmark cases for local airlines, banks and real estate companies. Recently the Firm has been recognized for its M&A and transactional advisory work.
Through our strategic alliance with WongPartnership LLP, a top law firm in Singapore, we are a member firm of the WPG regional law network comprising of firms from the Middle East, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Singapore.
Gruba Law continue to grow in size and in our practice fields whilst keeping our core values of excellence, diligence, innovation and service foremost.
