Biography
Atty. Sylvette Y. Tankiang has always been ahead of the curve. In an era when the field of corporate law was still predominantly male-driven, Atty. Tankiang took the helm in building V&A Law’s Corporate & Commercial Law Department into what it is today: one of the most trusted corporate and business law practices in the Philippines.
 
With particular expertise in the fields of taxation, mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance, securities, real estate, mining, natural resources, and power and energy, it is no surprise that Atty. Tankiang has consistently been acknowledged by global and domestic legal publications, namely leading lawyer for Corporate and M&A and recognized practitioner for Tax by Chambers and Partners, Leading Individual for 2020 by the Legal500, Leading Lawyers of 2020 by AsiaLaw, and one of the Top 100 Lawyers of 2019 by Asia Business Law Journal, among others.
