Litigation and Arbitration

SyCipLaw has a wide-ranging litigation practice in virtually all court levels — from the municipal trial courts and the regional trial courts, to the Sandiganbayan, the Court of Tax Appeals, the Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court, as well as in numerous administrative agencies. The Firm also has a very extensive arbitration practice, being involved in foreign arbitration, international commercial arbitration, domestic arbitration, and construction arbitration.

We have over the years handled the most significant, high-value, and complex Philippine commercial law court cases and arbitration, a number of them against or with the Philippine Government.

The Firm represents both foreign and local clients in a wide array of industries — mining, power, banking, infrastructure, pharmaceutical, milk and other food manufacturing, distilled spirits, hotel, airline, construction, hospital, transportation, and many others.

The department has 12 partners, one of counsel, one special counsel, four senior associates, and 37 associates doing dispute resolution work in various degrees.
