Corporate & Special Projects

Strategic Counsel for Complex, Cross-Border Business Matters

When business decisions carry legal, financial, and reputational weight, you need more than routine corporate advice.

You need a firm that understands structure, strategy, and execution—across jurisdictions.

Sabornay Law advises foreign and Philippine companies on high-value corporate matters and special projects that require precision, discretion, and deep cross-border insight.

Who we work with 

We regularly advise:

  • Japanese and foreign companies entering or expanding in the Philippines

  • Multinational groups managing Philippine subsidiaries or branches

  • Investors, founders, and family offices structuring special transactions

  • Professional services firms and project-based ventures

  • Clients undertaking one-off, non-routine corporate initiatives

Our clients often come to us when the matter is important, time-sensitive, or unusually complex.

What We Do

Corporate Advisory

We provide end-to-end support across the corporate lifecycle:

  • Company formation, structuring, and reorganization

  • Subsidiaries, branches, representative offices, and joint ventures

  • Corporate governance, board matters, and shareholder arrangements

  • Regulatory and compliance advisory

  • Corporate secretarial support (strategic, not clerical)

Market Entry & Special Projects

Some matters do not fit neatly into standard service lines. We handle:

  • Philippine market entry strategies and feasibility structuring

  • Cross-border restructurings and internal group realignments

  • Strategic partnerships and bespoke commercial arrangements

  • One-off corporate mandates requiring multi-disciplinary coordination

  • Time-bound or politically sensitive projects requiring careful execution

We act as project quarterback, coordinating local and foreign counsel, advisors, and stakeholders.

Transactions & Commercial Matters

We support transactions where clarity and risk control matter:

  • Share and asset acquisitions

  • Commercial and investment agreements

  • Management, consultancy, and services arrangements

  • Cross-border contracting involving Japanese, Philippine, and common law elements

  • Risk allocation, liability structuring, and exit planning
