The Bengzon Law Firm traces its history from the two distinguished legal luminaries of the Bengzon clan, Justice Jose P. Bengzon and his son Jose F.S. Bengzon Jr. Justice Bengzon served in both the executive department and the judiciary. He was a former Secretary of Justice, Presiding Justice of the Court of Appeals and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Mr. Jose F.S. Bengzon Jr., on the other hand, served as a member of the Constitutional Commission that drafted the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines. Both gentlemen had distinguished and accomplished careers in law.
