What I'm looking for

I seek a role offering substantive litigation or corporate governance work, collaboration with international teams, and opportunities to expand my US–Philippine legal practice.

I am a Philippine-licensed attorney with experience across corporate governance, litigation, and compliance, honored academically with Cum Laude distinctions. I currently support US-based clients through legal research, demand writing, and collaboration with US attorneys while maintaining a private practice.

In corporate roles I have served as Corporate Secretary and compliance manager, preparing board resolutions, regulatory reports, and coordinating with government agencies to ensure regulatory adherence. I have represented companies in litigation and managed labor and property matters from filing through resolution.

My litigation practice includes drafting pleadings, motions, contracts, and settlement negotiations, as well as courtroom representation and meticulous case-file management. I pair substantive legal skills with strong writing and editing experience gained earlier in publishing work.

I bring bilingual communication, technology proficiency, and cross-cultural experience to teams seeking diligent legal support, strategic litigation assistance, and precise legal drafting for both Philippine and US matters.
