The Sadsad Tamesis Legal and Accountancy Firm (STLAF) marked a momentous occasion in its journey with the blessing of its newly built office here in Victoria Sports Tower, EDSA South Triangle, Metro Manila.
With Reverend Fr. Vhong Turingan’s officiation of the ceremony, the spacious rooms and walls of the office were blessed. Then followed the ribbon-cutting, the raucous prosperity coin shower, and the official toast from everyone who comprised the Firm.
“As we open doors for our new office, we are not just celebrating a change in location—we are celebrating growth, resilience, and the collective effort that made this all possible,” said Managing Partner Atty. Chris Tamesis in his speech, as he recollected the Firm’s journey from a humble 25-square-meter office to boasting a 1000-square-meter home to a hundred professionals.
“We’ve faced challenges, long nights, and shifting priorities in moments when the future felt uncertain. Yet every step of the way, we moved forward because of the people in this room and the people who support us every day.”
Similarly, Managing Partner Atty. Kathrina Mishael Sadsad expressed her most heartfelt gratitude to the clients and the foundational pillars of the Firm.
“[E]ven in that small space, we carried big dreams. Every client who trusted us, every case we handled, every late night… all of it mattered. All of it shaped who we were becoming. And I will always be grateful to the first clients who believed in us when we were still nobody.”
“Every ‘first’: our first wins, first losses, first nominations, TV appearances, and international clients, all of these became moments that shaped what we are today,” said Atty. Sadsad. “I am deeply grateful to every one of you. And together, in this new chapter, I know we will rise to new heights—stronger, better, and more united than ever. One STLAF!”
The event concluded with a short and simple but sincere shared vision: this momentous occasion marks the start of another journey forward to a future where STLAF becomes internationally acclaimed and becomes the Philippines’ most trusted and respected legal and accounting firm.
