Corporate & Commercial Law Lawyer in Taguig and Bonifacio Global City
We set up and advise BGC and Taguig companies with a cross-border focus: foreign ownership analysis, domestic corporations, branches and representative offices, regional headquarters, technology and services contracts, and ongoing corporate compliance.
Most BGC corporate work begins with the same question — how much of this company can the foreign investor own? The answer depends on the activity and the Foreign Investment Negative List, not on the address or the industry label, and it drives minimum paid-in capital, anti-dummy exposure, and whether incentives are available. We resolve the ownership analysis first, then build the structure and handle the SEC registration and Taguig permits around it.

Frequently asked questions
How much capital does a foreign-owned company need?
It depends on the activity and the extent of foreign ownership. Export-oriented and certain service companies face lower thresholds than those serving the domestic market. We calculate the applicable figure before you commit funds.
Branch or subsidiary for a BGC operation?
A branch is the same legal entity as the parent, which means parent liability but simpler consolidation. A subsidiary ring-fences liability and can be easier to sell later. Capital and tax treatment differ, so the choice should be deliberate.
Do you draft technology and SaaS contracts?
Yes — licensing, data processing terms, service levels, intellectual property ownership, and limitation of liability, drafted to be enforceable under Philippine law and workable for a foreign counterparty.
