Legal Consulting and Litigation Support
Cebu
I'm a licensed Philippine attorney with over six years of legal practice across government regulatory work and private consultancy. I specialize in contract drafting and review, legal research, dispute resolution, and regulatory compliance, and I deliver all of this reliably in remote settings. My background is unusually broad: I've drafted legal opinions and policy briefs for a national housing agency, handled 30+ conciliations weekly, represented clients in real estate and labor matters, and supported U.S.-based litigation as a remote legal clerk. I'm comfortable working independently, meeting deadlines without hand-holding, and communicating clearly with non-lawyer clients.
