Acquisition International December 2025 | 27 A Trusted Partner to Manilla’s Legal Sphere ased in Manila, Pascua & Pascua Law Offices is a full-service law firm on a mission to provide quality legal services in a timely and cost-effective manner. The current iteration of the firm began in October 2012, though the practice traces its roots long before that to 1975, when it was established upon the core values of professionalism, respect, integrity, determination, and excellence. Today, Pascua & Pascua Law Offices stands as a third-generation law firm now seeking to help second- and third-generation businesses cultivate their legacies. Pascua & Pascua Law Offices stands at the forefront of the region’s field, providing expert legal services to both local and international clients. The firm boasts an extensive knowledge of local laws that enables it to ensure the best possible outcome across each case it undertakes. Whilst it specialises in all areas of Philippine law as a full-service firm, Pascua & Pascua Law Offices does place a focus on business and taxation law, especially for foreign clients seeking to enter Southeast Asian markets through the Philippines. When undertaking a new project – from working with individuals to small businesses and large corporations – the team at Pascua & Pascua Law Offices opts for an alternate approach to its services. “We don’t follow the standard playbook; we start with the client’s endgame,” Raymond told us. “It is all about streamlining the practice but never losing sight of our clients’ needs. We look at our clients’ problems and propose different solutions and options, always looking for a means to reach their endgame.” Alongside this, Pascua & Pascua Law Offices takes a personal approach to each case, maintaining total trust and transparency across its legal services. The team works one-on-one with every client they serve, taking the time to understand their unique needs, goals, and objectives before providing any legal advice or representation. From there, it tailors its services to align with each individual budget and vision to ensure that all needs are met and all expectations are exceeded. The client experience lies at the heart of all Pascua & Pascua Law Offices does, driving the team to place a premium on trust – with partners, associates, and staff members alike. This is demonstrated throughout every case it undertakes, including the recent handling of a foreign client’s branch office registration. This took longer than estimated, due to the reorganisation and implementation of new requirements by the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission, aimed at making it easier to conduct business in the region. “This setback delayed our client’s operations by several weeks, frustrating both us and the client – our client most especially,” Raymond recalled. “But the delay proved to be an opportunity for us to find and place our client’s operations in one of the leading technoparks in the Philippines. This allowed us to get a better tax structure and several tax breaks that will greatly benefit our client’s operations over the next five years.” Law practice is client-centric in the Philippines, and this ethos is echoed across the entire team at Pascua & Pascua Law Offices, maintaining complete professionalism when handling projects for clients. Raymond attributes the firm’s success as a testament to the team’s work ethic, citing each member as a crucial component of ensuring that the wheels run smoothly and continue to turn in the right direction. This is facilitated by continual investment into staff training, providing the team with ongoing opportunities for further studies and licensed specialisation. Looking ahead, the firm aims to strengthen its standing as a leading player in the Philippines’s legal sphere. In the upcoming months, Pascua & Pascua Law Offices plans to invest in IT infrastructure that supports international business demands with greater efficiency, enabling foreign clients to reach the team from wherever they are in the world. This unwavering dedication to ongoing improvement – always aimed at better serving its clientele – has earned Pascua & Pascua Law Offices recognition as the Philippines’s Leading Corporate Taxation Lawyer of the Year 2025.
