Badayos & Badayos Law

We start with the problem, not the doctrine.

Six areas of work. Each one below opens with the question clients bring to us, since a person with a problem knows what happened to them before they know which practice area it falls under.

Corporate

How do I set up a company in the Philippines, and what has to be filed after that?

A deal, a filing, or a financing moves on schedule when the corporate records are current.

  • Company formation
  • Governance
  • Corporate housekeeping
  • SEC filings
  • Shareholder agreements
  • Setting up from abroad

Employment

We have a difficult employment decision to make. How do we do it properly?

A decision holds when it was taken on a clear standard and recorded as it happened.

  • Employment contracts
  • Workplace policies
  • Disciplinary process
  • Redundancy and retrenchment
  • Illegal dismissal
  • Employers based abroad

Family and Estate

A marriage has ended, or someone has died. Where do I begin?

These matters move as fast as the documents can be obtained, so the documents are where we start.

  • Annulment
  • Declaration of nullity
  • Recognition of foreign divorce
  • Legal separation
  • Custody and support
  • Estate settlement
  • Succession planning

Litigation

Someone has filed against me, or I need to file. What happens now?

We assess cost, time, and proof before you decide whether to file.

  • Civil actions
  • Criminal matters
  • Cyber libel
  • Property disputes
  • Administrative cases
  • Appeals

Real Estate

Is this title clean, and can the sale be registered?

Almost everything that matters about a property can be established before the money moves.

  • Due diligence
  • Foreign buyers
  • Transfers and registration
  • Leases
  • Property disputes
  • Development

Special Projects

My problem does not fit any of the above. Can you still help?

Some work crosses several areas, or is one unusual mandate, or has no end date.

  • Cross-practice mandates
  • Internal investigations
  • Governance reviews
  • Outside counsel
