Founded by one of the most successful tax practitioners in our country, our tax department today counts on a legacy of experience and unique perspective in developing tax efficient solutions for our clients – in the boardroom or in the courtroom.

Our tax lawyers collaborate with lawyers from other practice areas of the Firm resulting in the early identification and adept handling of tax issues involved in highly sophisticated mergers and acquisitions, corporate reorganizations, securities transactions, partnerships and joint ventures, complex credit transactions, as well as other high value commercial dealings, such as real estate transactions and the sale of goods and services. The Firm routinely advises on and develops innovative solutions to efficiently manage the tax burden of foreign entities that enter into transactions in the Philippines, whether on an isolated or continuing basis.

We also advise and formulate strategic tax plans and coordinate with the Bureau of Internal Revenue and other agencies to integrate efficient tax solutions that suit our clients’ business objectives. The Firm currently serves as tax counsel to major corporations whose businesses or operations are subject to excise tax and the expanded value-added tax. We have also successfully represented clients involved in tax litigation and other related disputes, and handled estate planning for high value individual clients.
