I am a Philippine-licensed lawyer and commissioned Notary Public based in Cebu City, with over five years of experience in corporate and commercial law, contract drafting, corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and litigation support. I have worked in private practice, in-house legal departments, and remote international legal teams supporting matters in the Philippines, Australia, Guam, and the United States.
I began my legal career in 2019 as a Corporate Paralegal and HR Officer at Azpired Inc., where I handled labor and employment documentation, administrative matters, and proceedings before the Department of Labor and Employment and the National Labor Relations Commission.
From 2021 to 2022, I worked as a Corporate Paralegal Officer at Mactan Rock Industries Inc. My responsibilities included preparing pleadings, affidavits, contracts, notices, and legal correspondence; coordinating with external counsel; and supporting civil, labor, arbitration, and administrative matters.
From 2022 to 2026, I served as Corporate Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary of NXTBK Inc./Nextbank, a Philippine fintech company. I drafted and reviewed commercial agreements and corporate documents, prepared board and shareholder resolutions, maintained statutory and governance records, and supported matters involving BSP compliance, data privacy, employment, contract disputes, risk management, and stakeholder coordination.
I currently work as an in-house corporate lawyer and as a lawyer and notary public in private practice. I also provide remote legal support to international teams. My Australian corporate experience includes ASX-related transactions, prospectuses, notices of meeting, due diligence and verification, securities issuance documentation, and share sale agreements. For U.S. and Guam matters, I assist with legal research, pleadings, discovery requests and responses, deficiency reviews, deposition notices, evidence organization, and personal injury and civil litigation support.
My key areas of experience include:
* Contract drafting, review, negotiation, and summarization;
* Corporate governance and company secretarial work;
* Board and shareholder resolutions and statutory documentation;
* Regulatory compliance, due diligence, and risk assessment;
* Legal research and memorandum preparation;
* Pleadings, affidavits, discovery, and litigation support;* Client, attorney, regulator, and stakeholder communication; and
* Case-file organization, deadline tracking, and document management.
I am proficient in EVE, Clio, -----------, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Adobe Acrobat. I am highly organized, detail-oriented, responsive, and comfortable working independently across multiple priorities and time zones. I take pride in producing accurate, practical, and carefully drafted work while maintaining strict confidentiality and clear communication with clients and supervising attorneys.
