Incorporation, contract drafting and review, SEC filings, and joint ventures. We provide the legal groundwork businesses need to operate with confidence and to avoid future disputes over ambiguous terms.
Bonifacio Global City · Metro Manila
BGC Legal is a boutique law firm of three attorneys based on the thirty-sixth floor of Eco Tower. We provide direct, personal access to experienced counsel — with transparent fees and clear communication — for businesses and families across Metro Manila.
Who We Are
BGC Legal was founded on a simple premise: most clients do not need the largest firm in the city. They need an attorney who understands their matter thoroughly, communicates honestly, and remains accessible throughout the engagement.
For that reason, we have remained deliberately small. Our practice consists of three attorneys working from a single office, guided by one firm policy: the attorney who takes your initial consultation remains responsible for your matter through its conclusion. We represent founders and family businesses, expatriates establishing themselves in the Philippines, and families navigating significant legal matters.
What We Do
Comprehensive legal services across six practice areas.
Incorporation, contract drafting and review, SEC filings, and joint ventures. We provide the legal groundwork businesses need to operate with confidence and to avoid future disputes over ambiguous terms.
Representation in civil and commercial litigation. We provide a candid assessment of your case and its likely outcomes before any resources are committed, along with steady advocacy in court when litigation becomes necessary.
Title tracing, due diligence, and property transactions. We verify title history and registry records to confirm that a property is exactly as represented before you proceed.
Employment contracts, workplace policies, and termination proceedings, in compliance with Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) regulations. We advise both employers and employees on their respective rights and obligations.
Work visas, 9(g) petitions, and retirement residency applications. We guide expatriates and their employers through Bureau of Immigration requirements and procedures.
Annulment, adoption, wills, and inheritance matters. These cases are handled with discretion and in strict confidence.
