Quisumbing Torres' clients remain steadfast in praise of the firm, citing its global network, from its status as a Baker & McKenzie office, and principled approach as recurring reasons for their continued support and inflow of work. A client says: "The lawyers there have their global network as an advantage not only in establishing connections, but also in assisting clients. They can also draw insights from their peers internationally to provide more comprehensive advice."
Clients also appreciate the firm's integrity: "Despite the fact that the Philippines legal system is getting fraught with bribery and corruption issues, Quisumbing Torres is well-known in the industry as a firm who sticks fast to its principles and will not acquiesce to such 'paying-off' practices, thus putting its clients in a safe zone when it comes to reputation issues."
A team from the firm, led by legal mastermind and banking and finance head Felix Sy, acted for Korea Electric Power Corporation in its acquisition of shares in a British corporation, which indirectly holds a minority interest in two power-generating companies in the Philippines. The firm worked in conjunction with the Baker & McKenzie Hong Kong office in this matter.
Partner Sy is routinely praised by clients, with one saying: "With his vast transactional experience, he is an expert in giving clever advice and also very helpful in explaining the details of the agreements that his clients would be engaging in. He is very motivated in keeping track of the legal and other policy issues that could affect his clients and always makes sure that he provides them with key updates."
