Department: Special Projects Our firm has advised international insurance companies on equity investments in domestic insurance companies and the establishment of Philippine subsidiaries and branch offices. We have likewise advised on mergers and acquisitions in the insurance industry, including health and maintenance organizations, which are supervised by the Philippine Insurance Commission (IC).
Our insurance practice covers a broad range of transactions—from conducting due diligence for an acquisition, the sale or purchase of shares or assets, the establishment of a subsidiary or a branch office, securing from the IC the necessary licenses and approvals of products, to the closure of an insurer.
We guide our clients in respect of standard regulatory and compliance matters, as well as more complex concerns, such as insurtech, reinsurance transactions and investments in more innovative financial products.
Our insurance practice extends to issues affecting developers, owners, and lenders in connection with construction, infrastructure, and other projects. We also have extensive experience in insurance coverage disputes.
