Who this is for

Philippine companies, associations and institutions, and foreign individuals and corporations, who need a contract reviewed before signing, drafted for a new deal, or revised when circumstances change.

Common situations

You received a contract and want it reviewed before you sign
You need an agreement drafted for a new deal, hire or partnership
You want to amend or renegotiate a contract you already signed
A foreign or local counterparty sent terms you are not sure about
You want standard contract templates for your business

How we can help

Contract work is the heart of our practice. We specialize in reviewing, drafting and revising contracts under Philippine law, so that your rights are clear and your obligations are understood.

We serve local organizations, including companies, associations and institutions, as well as foreign individuals and corporations who are doing business, hiring, investing or settling in the Philippines.

Review: we read the contract line by line, explain it in plain language, flag risks and unclear or one-sided terms, and tell you what to negotiate. Drafting: we prepare agreements from your instructions, fitted to your deal and to Philippine law. Revision: we amend, restate and negotiate changes, from a single clause to a full renegotiation.

We work with clients remotely, so foreign clients can instruct us from anywhere.
