The Firm has successfully obtained a permanent injunction against the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA). Previously, the MMDA had entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the Department of Public Works and Highways to implement the provisions of the National Building Code (NBC)—specifically, to dismantle billboards all over the metro. The Firm challenged this act before the court—and won. The petition was granted, and the MMDA was effectively barred from exercising powers not granted to it by law, or entering agreements beyond its powers.

The Firm likewise secured another permanent injunction. This time, the Firm challenged Quezon City's ordinance seeking to regulate the size and location of billboard structures.

The Firm has also successfully defended a Petition for Injunction with Prayer for a Temporary Restraining Order and/or Issuance of A Writ of Preliminary Injunction filed by the City Government of Mandaluyong against an outdoor advertising company.
