Our extensive experience in corporate law practice has enabled us to effectively guide our clients through establishment of business entities, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, sale and purchase of assets, loans, initial public offerings, registration of securities, corporate restructuring, and all other major commercial transactions.

Our services cover all aspects of a given transaction. We conduct legal due diligence audit exercises and provide clients with advice on the implications or consequences of the transaction in question. In helping our clients formulate their overall strategies, we identify issues or potential areas of concern and recommend the best solutions to resolve these matters. We also negotiate contracts, draft agreements, and render opinions. Moreover, we attend to matters such as post-closing and reportorial requirements, and we liaise with the appropriate government agencies relative to these requirements. We likewise perform corporate housekeeping services to ensure that our clients are compliant with all applicable government and corporate rules and regulations.

Our experience in litigation practice is similarly considerable. We handle civil, criminal, family, and administrative cases before trial and appellate courts, administrative and arbitral bodies, family courts, and quasi-judicial agencies. Our advocacy is founded on crafting coherent strategies that are geared toward the successful settlement or disposition of disputes, and take into account the objectives of our clients as well as other relevant concerns. We devote substantial time and effort in establishing the facts of a given case, reviewing all pertinent records, drafting pleadings, affidavits and other supporting documents, and interviewing and preparing witnesses.

In the field of labor law, we handle a substantial number of cases. We have participated in collective bargaining negotiations. We review company policies and provide legal advice on the valid implementation of established company rules and regulations.
