Doing Legal Business in the Philippines: A Guide by Yabut Law
Located in the bustling hub of Fort Bonifacio, Taguig, Yabut Law stands as a beacon of legal excellence, guiding businesses and individuals through the intricate Philippine legal landscape. In a country that’s a global hotspot for commerce, understanding the legal milieu becomes an essential part of thriving within its shores.
Understanding the Philippines as a Business Destination
The Philippines, renowned as the third-largest English-speaking nation and one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing economies, has etched its name as a dynamic player on the world stage.
Being part of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the country is entrenched in the world’s sixth-biggest regional economy, boasting an estimated worth of US $2.55 trillion. As a ‘tiger cub’ economy, it’s projected to rise as the world’s 16th largest by 2050.
Strategic Advantages
The nation’s strategic location, sharing time zones with economic giants like Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Brunei, central Indonesia, and Western Australia, renders it a prominent landing point for business across Southeast Asia.
Manila, the capital city, a nexus for air travel from major Asian cities, further amplifies its appeal. The country’s signature in international agreements like the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) since 1979 and being a founding member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) since 1995, opens doors to expansive market opportunities.
Legal Considerations in the Philippines
Engaging in legal practice within the Philippine jurisdiction requires careful adherence to specific rules. The legal market is strictly regulated, allowing only Philippine citizens to be admitted to the bar. The Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) refrains from recognizing foreign-qualified lawyers, restricting them from practicing law within the country.
