SyCipLaw’s Banking, Finance & Securities group has been consistently recognized by the financial and business community as the Philippine leader in this practice. We represent and advise virtually all major Philippine banks in all types of financing transactions and regulatory matters, as well as lenders and borrowers across various industries.
The group is a pioneer in banking and finance as a specialization for a full-service firm, with one of its first major projects being our engagements as counsel to all creditor banks of the Republic of the Philippines in relation to the country’s 1980s debt moratorium.
We are known for our expertise in developing and structuring “one of a kind” transactions that address commercial and/or legal concerns of clients and their counterparties. Because we act for both foreign and local banks and financial institutions – and also for borrowers/issuers – we have the enhanced capacity to draft, structure and negotiate from different perspectives.
We are also known for our ability to analyze new financial products and to help clients stay at the forefront of market developments. Recently, the firm has assisted various new players in the fintech sector in developing business models that allow them to offer innovative products to the market. We also regularly advise clients on the latest cybersecurity and data privacy issues.
