Corporate Law
The Philippine economic landscape offers a wealth of opportunities for both local entrepreneurs and global enterprises. However, capturing this potential requires a sophisticated understanding of the country’s intricate corporate and commercial laws. For companies seeking to establish, scale, or protect their operations in the Philippines, a robust legal framework governs everything from market entry and daily operations to complex cross-border transactions and regulatory compliance.
The bedrock of doing business in the country is the Revised Corporation Code (RCC) (Republic Act No. 11232).
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Company Registration:
Corporate law help investors select the appropriate corporate vehicle (e.g., domestic subsidiary, branch office, representative office, or One-Person Corporation) and securing registration with the SEC and other relevant agencies. It also includes setting up local branches, representative offices, or regional headquarters for foreign entities.
COMMON LEGAL ISSUES HANDLED
Foreign Equity Restrictions:
Determining whether a business activity complies with the Philippine Foreign Investment Negative List, which limits foreign ownership in sectors like mass media, advertising, or land ownership.
APPROACH TO HANDLING MATTERS
