Services
Four practice lines, each scoped by deliverable with fees agreed in writing before work begins. Every engagement starts with a short consultation and a conflict check.
Commercial agreements of every kind: services and supply agreements, distributorships, leases, licensing, non-disclosure agreements, and the ancillary documents around them. A typical engagement is a fixed-fee review of a contract you have been asked to sign, delivered as a tracked-changes markup with margin comments explaining each issue in plain language, or the drafting of an agreement from your term sheet or a simple description of the deal. Reviews separate legal risks from points that are commercial decisions for you, and every recommendation comes with exact proposed wording.
Support for commercial transactions and investments: preparing and reviewing transaction documents, advising on how to structure an investment or acquisition for operational and tax efficiency, and coordinating signings and closings. A typical engagement begins with the structure question, what entity, what instrument, what sequence, and carries through to execution-ready documents.
Representation in settlement negotiations arising from contract breaches and commercial disagreements, and preparation of the resulting settlement or compromise agreements. A typical engagement starts with a candid assessment of your position, the realistic value of the claim, and the cost of the alternatives, followed by negotiation on your behalf and documentation that actually closes the dispute rather than storing it for later.
Wills and estate planning advice under Philippine law. A typical engagement covers an inventory of assets and intended beneficiaries, advice on what Philippine succession law requires and permits, and the preparation of a will that gives effect to your intentions within those rules. For families and business owners, planning extends to how ownership of a business or property passes with the least friction.
