MANILA, Philippines – Big law firms in key financial centers like New York, London and Tokyo are known to invest in premium in-house dining facilities and hire elite executive chefs and dedicated culinary teams to run them. They design fine dining menus, build barista bars and prepare extensive wine cellars exclusively for clients, partners and VIP guests.

In this part of the world, top-notch lawyer Nilo Divina is rewriting the model of legal practice by investing equity into a network of allied businesses. After all, he believes in building a holistic ecosystem, and operating a restaurant that offers elevated dining experience is seen to be a vital pillar of that expansion.

If Divina Law were a listed company, the 20-year-old firm would be a diversified conglomerate instead of a pure play. It now has a publishing house, a security agency, a bar review center, a financial service advisory unit and even a collection agency.
