Summary
Atty. Carlo Artemus Diaz is an accomplished lawyer with a strong background in asset recovery and fraud prosecution. He obtained his law degree from the University of Santo Tomas and has accumulated approximately nine years of experience in the legal field. In 2023, Atty. Diaz was chosen as one of the finalists for the “Young Lawyer of the Year Award” of the 2023 Philippine Law Awards, hosted by the Asian Legal Business and Thomson Reuters.
Focusing primarily in fraud protection and asset recovery, Atty. Diaz has successfully assisted banks, financial institutions, corporations, business, and individuals in vindicating their claims related to asset recovery and fraud.
In addition to ordinary civil or criminal litigation, Atty. Diaz likewise excels in assisting clients in the field of arbitration, which is an emerging trend in the Philippine legal landscape. This alternative method of dispute resolution is particularly beneficial for clients involved in various specialized disputes best resolved expeditiously by a specialized tribunal. By practicing arbitration, Atty. Diaz becomes instrumental in helping clients resolve their specialized or niche legal matters efficiently and within a
relatively shorter period of time compared to ordinary actions pending in court.
