Law firm in Bulacan, Philippines
Bulacan is the province immediately north of our office and, in practical terms, an extension of the Metro Manila economy. Meycauayan, Marilao, Bocaue, and Sta. Maria form an industrial and logistics belt — jewellery, leather, food processing, warehousing — dominated by family-owned enterprises now moving into second and third generation ownership.
That ownership transition is the province's defining legal issue. Succession, corporate restructuring, and the separation of family assets from business assets come up constantly, alongside land questions driven by the new airport and expressway projects reshaping land values across the province.

Why clients choose us

Frequently asked questions
How do we settle a Bulacan estate that includes land and a family business?
If the heirs agree and there is no will, an extrajudicial settlement with the required publication and estate tax clearance is usually the route, followed by transfer at the Registry of Deeds and the transfer of shares on the corporate books. If the heirs disagree or a will exists, judicial settlement is required. We advise on which applies and handle the filings.
Government is acquiring part of our land for a road or airport project. What are our rights?
You are entitled to just compensation based on fair market value, and you may contest the offered amount in the expropriation proceeding. Accepting an initial offer is not compulsory. We advise on valuation evidence and represent landowners in the proceeding.
Our family corporation is in conflict among siblings. Where is that resolved?
Intra-corporate disputes — control of the board, validity of meetings, inspection of records, share ownership — go to designated special commercial courts. Many resolve through a negotiated restructuring instead, which is usually the better outcome for the business.
Can you handle labor cases for a Meycauayan or Marilao factory?
Yes, before the NLRC regional arbitration branch covering Central Luzon, and at the Department of Labor and Employment conference stage that usually precedes it.
Is agricultural land in Bulacan safe to buy for development?
Only after conversion status, agrarian coverage, and tenancy claims are verified. Land that looks idle can still carry tenant rights, and buying without checking transfers the problem to you.
