PRACTICE AREAS

Salumbides and De Los Santos Law Firm has progress from its humbled beginning into humbled but bolder firm offering legal aids in several fields of law. All of our endeavor and practices adjoin our office advocacies and align to our inclination towards justice.

Types of Law We Practice

Our rapidly-growing law firm in Metro Manila has progressed from our humble beginnings into offering comprehensive aid in several fields of law. All of our endeavors and practices adjoin our company advocacies and follow our aim for justice and integrity.

Property Acquisitions and Compliance

We aim to help our clients practice due diligence regarding their property, in line with 2 Timothy 2:15 — “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.” This covers land, buildings, roads, and other structures. We provide comprehensive legal services regarding property acquisition, sale, mortgage, lease, consolidation, and other aspects of property use and development.

Corporate Law

We assist corporations in strictly adhering to the law, as we have been instructed in Romans 13:1 — “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.” Corporate law concerns all the legal issues related to running a corporation. Our experienced corporate lawyers can facilitate corporate governance, business practices, negotiations, and other legal and financial functions for our clients.

Intellectual Property

As said in Proverbs 10:2 — “Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from death.” Intellectual property laws exist to protect and secure the rights of inventors, artists, and others in their unique property and creations. Our lawyers have experience in registering and defending trademarks, patents, copyright, and related rights. They also assist in managing and enforcing of such rights because we believe in our client’s rights to the fruit of their labor.

Claims Enforcement

We help in this area because we should “pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed” — Romans 13:7. This covers disputes involving unpaid fees or debts. Our claims enforcement services will help you get paid as per your agreements with the concerned party.

Arbitration

Our arbitration service is based on Exodus 22:5, which states “If a man causes a field or vineyard to be grazed over, or lets his beast loose and it feeds in another man’s field, he shall make restitution from the best in his own field and in his own vineyard.” Our Firm seeks to find a resolution that both parties wholeheartedly agree to. Our services can be a straightforward, cost-effective, and quick alternative solution for even difficult legal issues.

Commercial

We seek to enforce fair trade and compensation for our clients, as instructed by Leviticus 25:14 — “If you make a sale, moreover, to your friend or buy from your friend’s hand, you shall not wrong one another.” We believe that proper guidance and effective legal advice are necessary to protect your business from unnecessary costs and headaches. Our services covers Franchising, Competition Law and Antitrust, among other transactions covered by commercial law.

Labor Relations

Romans 4:4 says “Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due.” We believe every employee in the Philippines should be given fair pay since it is a God-given right. In line with that, we provide labor relations services which includes aspects like pre-employment policies, wage rate, work hours, employee benefits, labor conditions, termination policies, and more.

Litigation Law

“For every breach of trust [the] case of both parties shall come before God. The one whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor” – Exodus 22:9. We can assist you in finding a fair and just result since litigation is a legal proceeding where one party takes action against another. It is a process involving lawsuits, legal cases, and judicial disputes. This is typically done when the parties cannot agree between themselves on the proper outcome of their dispute.

Contract Negotiations

The key biblical principle we follow here is from 1 Corinthians 10:24 — “Try to do what is good for others, not just what is good for yourselves.” We go the extra mile to consider what each contract will cost the other party, as well. This is the process of two parties coming into an agreement using a set of legally binding terms. When two parties negotiate, they both want to settle on favorable terms with minimized risk. We help our clients in finding a balance that suits both parties.

Civil Law

We strictly follow the verse Psalm 106:3, which says “Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!” This area of law follows the Civil Code of the Philippines — which primarily concerns family and property relations in the country. It deals with people’s relationships with other parties, property rights, business agreements, and other legal issues not involved with criminal activity. In this aspect of the law, we seek to bring just and fair resolutions for all of our clients.

Criminal Law

We seek to inform our clients regarding their rights when it concerns criminal law, and do our best to protect said rights regardless of their circumstance, as instructed in Leviticus 19:15 — “You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.”

Estate Planning

As stated in 1 Timothy 5:8 — “But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever,” which is why we offer estate planning. This is a process where clients (and their families) arrange their assets in anticipation of their death. We assist in managing, transferring, and preserving the assets of our clients to the benefit of their intended beneficiaries. This ensures their families are provided for before their passing.

Corporate & Special Projects

We believe it is our duty, as told in Galatians 6:10 — “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” We offer a full range of legal services for various corporate projects. These include situations such as corporate rehabilitation, mergers and acquisitions, legal guidance on new programs, strategy on intra-corporate issues, finance assistance, liquidation, and other events that may happen to a corporation. In this, we take care to provide accurate and virtuous legal services.

Pro-Bono Services

This term comes from the Latin phrase: “pro bono publico,” meaning “for the public good.” As a Christian law firm, we believe in providing effective and righteous legal services for those who need it the most — performed at reduced rates or free of charge. We provide such services at our own cost because this is the right thing to do, as directly stated in the bible — “Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy,” in Proverbs 31:9.”
