“We engaged Gorriceta for our fundraising M&A transaction with the Ayala Group. They also handle our Data Privacy matters aside from being our general counsel. It is very difficult to find a law firm who is familiar with Tech—Gorriceta is on top of their game on this matter. Highly recommended! We are a happy client
