Philippines
We have extensive experience in the Philippines through working with major Philippine conglomerates, banks, the Philippine government, government-owned and controlled corporations and other privately controlled corporations on their transactions throughout the past 25 years.
This has given us an unparalleled track record, expertise and contacts in the market as well as a top tier ranking in the leading legal directories.
Whilst, in common with all international law firms, we do not practice Philippine law, the volume of transactions and disputes that we advise on with a Philippine nexus means we have a very close relationship with the country. This work, has given us an in-depth understanding of Philippine legal, business and cultural practices. We also have specialist expertise to advise on a diverse range of transactions including anti-trust, TMT and specific regional experience.
