The VERA of VeraLaw
The name VeraLaw originates from the initials of the firm’s founder, Mr. V.E. DEL ROSARIO. He established the firm in 1949 and named it V.E. Del Rosario and Associates. To honour the heritage of the firm and to forever memorialize its journey, the firm was renamed VeraLaw. From its humble beginnings as a one-person practice, the firm has expanded into a full-service law firm with a diverse clientele from across the globe. Continuing his legacy, Valeriano del Rosario, his son, now serves as the managing partner of VeraLaw.
