CASE MATTERS I HANDLE: Labor Law • Redrafting agreements so the independent-contractor relationship survives scrutiny and avoids misclassification suits • Drafting a legally sound quitclaim with a reasonable compensation offer • Acting as escrow to execute the signing of the quitclaim • Terminations. Ending a relationship with a PH-based worker without walking into an illegal or constructive dismissal claim. This is the call most clients wish they'd made two weeks earlier. • Reviewing/drafting employment contracts, NDAs, and Non-competes • Representing you in a labor case in the Labor Arbiter/labor tribunal • Statutory compliance. SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and what your exposure actually is if you've never registered Commercial Law • Corporate structuring • Corporate secretary for your PH corporation • Draft/review operations handbook • Data privacy counsel: Privacy notices, PIAs, breach response SOPs, DPO registration under the Data Privacy Act. • Intellectual property counsel - trademark, copyright, patent • Legal guidance on SEC registration, Articles and bylaws, permits, BIR compliance coordination with your US accountant, ToS and EULA drafting, Property/Civil • Pre-purchase due diligence for acquisitions and property investments. • Title transfers, Deeds of Sale, Extrajudicial Settlements, and estate tax processing. Also a licensed real estate salesperson (PRC No. 9266). • Debt collection • Ejectment and title recovery • Small claims • Family law petitions: e.g. petition for support, administration, or custody Criminal Law • Sending a demand or cease-and-desist letter as a prerequisite to filing a criminal case (recent experience: Estafa and BP22) • Channeling all communications to me as the lawyer instead of handling them yourself. • A worker goes rogue, threatens your reputation, or demands payment. I handle the demand letters and tell you honestly which threats have legal teeth and which don't. HOW I WORK • Fixed-fee proposals that includes the scope of work; beyond that, billable hours with cap. • Language a layperson could understand • I'll tell you when you don't need me. MY LEVERAGE: - I can see the risk before it becomes a dispute - I understand the client's business, especially if it is a BPO/Offshore Client as I've worked for them since 2010 - I can make a decision when there is no perfect legal answer - Certified Clio Administrator by Clio Academy (I have used Clio Manage to manage my own firm) Message me with your situation. If it's outside what I do, I'll tell you that too.
