The decision to forge an association in the Philippines comes at a pivotal time when businesses across ASEAN are navigating an evolving regulatory and legal landscape. The Philippines, in particular, has emerged as a key destination for investment and business growth, with its vibrant economy and rapidly expanding industries. This strategic association positions KPMG Law to better serve clients in the Philippines while providing them with access to KPMG’s comprehensive suite of professional services, including tax, audit, advisory, and now legal services.
The legal landscape in the Philippines, like many ASEAN countries, has seen notable developments in recent years. Regulatory changes, market demands, and a growing emphasis on corporate governance have created a heightened need for specialized legal expertise. KPMG Law’s expansion into the Philippine market aligns perfectly with these evolving dynamics, offering clients an integrated approach to address complex legal and business challenges.
This strategic association allows KPMG Law to tap into the local legal talent pool in the Philippines, providing clients with access to seasoned legal professionals who possess in-depth knowledge of the country’s legal system and business environment. By combining local expertise with KPMG’s global network and resources, clients can expect a holistic and tailored approach to legal services that align with their business goals and regulatory compliance needs.
The scope of legal services that KPMG Law intends to offer through its Philippine association encompasses a wide range of areas, including corporate and commercial law, mergers and acquisitions, regulatory compliance, dispute resolution, and intellectual property, among others. These services are designed to cater to the diverse needs of businesses operating in the Philippines and looking to expand their presence in the ASEAN region.
