Before becoming lawyers, the Firm’s founding fathers, Robert Lim and Michael Chua were already business owners, with extensive background in the food and construction industry. As businessmen, they learned that customer satisfaction, outstanding quality service and overall client experience should be the utmost priority of every organization. After graduating in 2015 and passing the bar the year after, they both undergo apprenticeship in different law firms and corporations to hone their craft. Gaining sufficient experience and clientele, the two decided to partner up and establish Lim and Chua Law. They opened their first office at Osmeña Highway, Makati City. Although the firm was organized as a general practice law firm, both of them maintained their expertise and training in the field of labor, corporate law, intellectual property, tax and insurance.

During their practice, the Firm received increasing inquiries on estate planning, tax compliances and other accounting processes. In order to cater to such demand, the Firm decided to partner with their long time friend and fellow classmate Jose Carell Dave, who was a practicing CPA. Thus, Lim, Chua & Dave Law and Accounting Offices was established. The partnership opened new doors and opportunities for the Firm, which allowed them to further expand their area of expertise.

Pulic Attorney II Ruth Cervantes, a fellow Bedan, left her employment in the government and joined the Firm. Her extensive knowledge and experience in criminal law, family law and politics paved the way for the Firm to increase its scope anew. Promoted as named partner within the same year, the Firm was renamed to the current Lim, Chua, Dave & Cervantes Law Offices (LCDC Law).
