His foresight and courage were unparalleled as he navigated the tumultuous political landscape of the Philippines, strategically steering the firm towards expanding its international footprint. A trailblazer in every sense, he became one of the first independent practitioner to boldly target international markets. His son, Valeriano Del Rosario still recalls that while he was at New York University in the 1970’s, his parents would visit him and he would accompany them for dinners with clients hosted by his father who was intent on growing his New York based clientele.
Under his visionary leadership, what began as a humble one-person practice blossomed into a national juggernaut, spanning a variety of commercial sectors and boasting a team of over 50 seasoned professionals. V. E. Del Rosario’s indelible mark on the legal landscape is a testament to his unparalleled dedication, foresight, and unwavering pursuit of excellence.
