Meer, Meer & Meer (Meer Law)

What Meer, Meer & Meer (Meer Law) does

Meer, Meer & Meer is a full-service law firm headquartered in Makati City, Philippines, founded in 1951 and continuously operated by the Meer family across multiple generations. With 16 total employees and a single Makati office, the firm offers a broad advisory and litigation practice spanning corporate and commercial law, securities and capital markets, taxation, labor, real estate, litigation, intellectual property, estate planning, immigration, aviation, and a more recently developed Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) practice covering data privacy and compliance. Its current Managing Partner is Lamberto L. Meer.

The firm serves a mix of Philippine corporates, high-net-worth individuals and families, and foreign investors seeking inbound entry, immigration support, and ongoing corporate secretarial work. The client base is relationship-driven and multi-decade, particularly in estate planning and family wealth structuring where continuity of counsel is itself a deliverable. External positioning is supported by recognition in Asian Legal Business, IFLR1000, and Legal 500, including two Southeast Asia Law Awards (2018 Transactional Boutique of the Year; 2022 Boutique Firm of the Year).

The business model is a conventional fee-for-service professional partnership: billable hours, retainers, and transactional/contingency fees, with no disclosed subscription, technology-platform, or alternative-fee arrangements. Go-to-market is referral- and reputation-based rather than marketing-led, leveraging family continuity, multi-generational client relationships, and third-party directory rankings. The firm has no disclosed funding, no investors, and operates without external capital; growth, if any, is internally financed from partner distributions.

Regional players

• Puno & Puno: Full-service Philippine law firm offering corporate, litigation, and tax practices. Comparable boutique-style advisory service in the Philippines, with smaller scale relative to top-tier firms but slightly larger than Meer Law.

Broad incumbents

• Villaraza & Angangco (V&A Law): Highly regarded Philippine law firm recognized for M&A, securities, and corporate restructuring. Direct overlap in transactional boutique positioning, though with greater scale and cross-border deal experience.

Direct peers
