VAL Law represents clients that are exploring potential businesses and investment opportunities, as well as those seeking to raise capital and inviting investors to join their companies. All sides of an investment deal – from the capital investors to the investee company – share a common need for sound guidance based on extensive experience not only in the law, but in the rapidly evolving globalized economy, especially for early and growth-stage companies.

VAL Law provides investors, whether domestic or foreign, expert advice to navigate the legal circumstances surrounding a potential business investment, identify possible risks, and recommend a corporate structure to protect their interests and maximize returns.

Similarly, VAL Law provides entrepreneurs and management of startups and emerging enterprises legal guidance required to have their businesses ready to take on the capital infusion, funding and participation intended from their investors, especially from a corporate share structure and regulatory compliance perspective.

To achieve these goals, VAL Law carefully evaluates and understands each client’s business in order to provide tailor-fitted legal advice and added commercial value. We recognize that every client’s situation is different, and VAL Law strives to ensure that each client’s respective legal and commercial circumstances are considered towards strategically planning the legal road map towards achieving their objectives. VAL Law’s services includes simple review or preparation of term sheets and transaction documents, to addressing more complex and in-depth needs of the client – such as identifying alternative corporate vehicles or alternative capital investment structures, preparation of shareholders’ agreements, and/or analysis of regulatory framework specific to the industry that the client seeks to enter into or is already engaged in.

The Corporate Law practice is headed by Atty. Timothy Joseph N. Lumauig and Atty. Reginald J. Puno, both with specializations honed from prior stints in premier Philippine and international firms. With decades of collective Corporate Law experience and closely working with clients in various industries and markets, VAL Law provides clients with sound legal advice and added value from a harmony of legal theory and practical commercial considerations.
