Global Ferronickel Holdings, Inc. (PSE: FNI), one of the country’s top nickel ore producers, earned a major regional honor after its legal team was named In-House Team of the Year (Construction and Real Estate) at the 2025 Asian Legal Business (ALB) Southeast Asia Law Awards held in Singapore.
This marks FNI’s growing reputation not only in mining and resource management, but also in legal excellence and governance. The company also placed as a finalist in three other prestigious categories, including Energy and Resources In-House Team of the Year (Top 5) and Woman Lawyer of the Year (In-House) for Eveart Grace P. Claro. Leo Ernesto Thomas G. Romero was also among the Top 15 for Fintech Lawyer of the Year.
These accolades follow a strong showing at the 2024 ALB Philippine Law Awards, where FNI clinched the same top in-house award, and was recognized for innovation and individual legal talent.
Chief Legal Counsel Noel B. Lazaro attributed the wins to the larger FNI team, citing their “quiet resolve” and commitment to ethical practice. The recognition affirms FNI’s dedication to responsible growth, innovation, and integrity—values increasingly central to investor confidence and sustainable business.
