One of the top Philippine law firms, DivinaLaw was named the winner of two gold Stevie awards at the 19th Annual International Business Awards.
The firm's Managing Partner, Nilo T. Divina, won in the Executive of the Year category for the legal industry, while the firm's video series DivinaLaw's Bar Exams Success Tips, produced by its Corporate Affairs and Business Development Office, won in the Social Video category.
"He did marvels for his organization, his people, and his profession amidst the pandemic," said one of the judges about Divina. The video series, meanwhile, was described by one judge as a "true intervention for [law] students, who were fighting uncertainty and hence anxious due to the COVID-19 pandemic."

Known as "the International Stevies," the IBAs honor organizations' and working professionals' achievements and positive contributions worldwide. More than 3,700 nominations from organizations of all sizes from various industries were submitted this year. The winners were determined by the average scores of more than 300 executives participating in the judging process.
DivinaLaw is the first and only law firm in the Philippines to receive the International Stevies. Last August, it also won a silver award at the 7th annual Stevie Awards for Great Employers in the Employer of the Year category.
