A Grand First Impression
First impressions reflect who we are—a firm grounded in quiet confidence, tradition, and the discipline we bring to every engagement.
The lobby sets the tone for life at Romulo—deliberate, composed, and built on respect for those who came before us. The portraits of Roman and Herminio Ozaeta serve as daily reminders of the firm’s founding values: integrity, duty, and legal discipline. This is not just a waiting area; it is a place of transition—where every visitor, from new hires to long-standing clients, enters with intent and leaves with trust.
Where Decisions Take Shape
The boardroom comes highly equipped to enable the lawyers to communicate with clients or partners all over the world. Enhancing the interconnectivity of the room are the interactive boards, projection screens, video conferencing facilities, and internet TV.
A Space for Collaboration
Thoughtfully-crafted compact spaces, the Breakout Area is meant to provide lawyers and clients with a place to meet privately during conferences or negotiations.
