Under the chairmanship of DON EMILIO T. YAP and the presidency of MA. CHRISTINA D. PADOLINA, who believed that CEU is primed to achieve a new level of excellence in higher education, the idea of putting up a School of Law and Jurisprudence was conceived. Thus, in January 2009, the CEU School of Law and Jurisprudence was born (CEU LAW).

The law school was organized by Supreme Court Senior JUSTICE JOSUE N. BELLOSILLO (ret.) as soon as he was chosen as Dean and is ably supported by his Associate Dean, ATTY. RITA LINDA V. JIMENO. Backed up by a powerhouse faculty of legal experts, scholars, justices and judges, as well as leading law practitioners, Senior Justice Bellosillo formally opened the School of Law and Jurisprudence on January 7, 2009 at its Gil Puyat Campus.

Upon the recommendation of Justice Bellosillo, the school was purposely established at the heart of the Philippines’ commercial and business district (Makati) to attract the best and the brightest practitioners in the legal profession to teach and at the same time address the need for convenience of working students who deserve to study in a prestigious school.

In 2014, ACLEx entered into a partnership with CEU School of Law and Jurisprudence to deliver quality MCLE lectures in service of the Filipino legal community.

Paredes Law is a full-service law firm in the Philippines registered as a general professional partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Registration No. PP200609508 catering to local and multinational clients.

Paredes Law was founded in 2006 by Mr. Hilario B. Paredes together with other passionate and committed young lawyers. It was borne out of the need for a law firm which can provide a full spectrum of quality legal services, at an efficient, creative, and timely fashion. Being alumni of some of the biggest law firms, they have been adequately exposed to virtually all kinds and degrees of legal issues and transactions. Armed with a common passion and resolve to be able to practice law not only in a grand, but also in a personable and effective manner, these gentlemen packed up from their respective cozy offices in big law firms and set out to establish their own law firm, to brandish their own type of legal practice.

Paredes Law has established a reputation as one of the leading transactional counsels in the country, known for its understanding not just of the law but of its client’s business. The Firm has gained considerable experience in working on various projects resulting in significant benefits not just for its private clients but to the government and the Filipino People as a whole.
