Manila, Philippines, June 2025 – Quisumbing Torres’ Intellectual Property, Data and Technology (IPDT) partners, Bienvenido Marquez III, Divina Ilas-Panganiban and Reena Mitra-Ventanilla, have been distinguished as Global Leaders by World Trademark Review (WTR) Global Leader: Private Practice in its 2025 edition.
This esteemed recognition was awarded to only twelve outstanding lawyers in the Philippines this year, and we are proud to share that Quisumbing Torres stands alone as the only Philippine law firm with three of its partners honored in the list.
Bien has been consistently recognized as a WTR Global Leader since 2021 — a testament to his sustained excellence in the field. This honor, along with accolades from other equally prestigious award-giving bodies, firmly establishes his reputation as a leading authority in trademark and patent portfolio management.
IPDT Practice Group Head Divina earns her second recognition on the WTR Global Leaders list this year. This is once again a testament to her exceptional leadership and deep expertise in protecting trademarks, copyrights, patents, and other intellectual property rights. With a stellar track record across all her areas of specialization, she has firmly established herself as a respected leader in the IP field, both in the Philippines and on the global stage.
Reena, another esteemed IPDT partner, receives her inaugural recognition from the WTR Global Leader: Private Practice this year. She, too, has been consistently cited as a leading lawyer for her work by The Legal 500 Asia Pacific, Managing IP, Asialaw, IAM Patent 1000, among others.
The WTR Global Leaders recognizes top law and corporate trademark professionals worldwide annually. The selection for WTR Global Leaders is based on thorough research from WTR 1000 and WTR 300, highlighting top performers in trademark practice.
