I provide data protection services under the Data Privacy Act (Republic Act No. 10173) and National Privacy Commission (NPC) requirements, including outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) services, training and support for DPOs and privacy teams, individual compliance documents, and development of data protection frameworks.
Work includes privacy policies and notices, privacy impact assessments, records of processing activities, data sharing and processing agreements, and review of the privacy implications of AI and other technologies.
My data protection experience started in 2018 at the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations migration agency, where I received institutional and GDPR training.
Engagements can cover a single document, support for an existing privacy function, or an outsourced DPO arrangement.
I advise content creators and influencers on brand partnership and sponsorship agreements, content licensing and usage rights, exclusivity and management agreements, and data privacy and e-commerce compliance, including obligations under the Data Privacy Act when collecting information from customers, subscribers, or followers.
Businesses that adopt new technologies take on contractual and regulatory obligations around software, data, and AI.
Core services include SaaS agreements, software licensing, IT services and outsourcing agreements, API agreements, data processing agreements, and data sharing agreements.
AI-related services include AI use policies, responsible AI governance frameworks, vendor and procurement agreements, AI-specific contractual clauses, data and privacy review, confidentiality provisions, and risk and compliance documentation.
I have completed training in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the EU Artificial Intelligence Act. This training supports my work on data protection and AI compliance documentation for clients whose operations involve EU data or markets. I am admitted to practice in the Philippines only.
In addition to technology and commercial work, I provide legal services to individuals and businesses, including litigation before Philippine courts and administrative bodies.
Services include legal consultations, affidavits and other legal documents, pleadings, complaints, memoranda, legal opinions, negotiations, hearings, and representation in civil, criminal, labor, and administrative matters.
Services range from preparing a single legal document to handling a matter through investigation, hearings, and trial.
International organizations and NGOs operate within complex contractual, donor, regulatory, and operational environments. Contracts often need to accommodate institutional policies, donor requirements, government regulations, and the practical realities of program implementation.
I previously served as National Legal Officer in the Contract Law Division of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations migration agency. I provide contract support to international organizations and NGOs.
Support includes contract drafting and review, negotiation, amendments, donor and funding agreements, project implementation agreements, service and vendor contracts, leases, construction and procurement-related agreements, and other operational contracts.
Work focuses on identifying legal and operational risks, clarifying contractual obligations, and preparing agreements suited to program delivery.
Whether you need support with a single agreement, a specific contractual issue, or ongoing contract review and advisory work, engagements can be structured around the organization’s needs.
I am a Philippine-licensed lawyer with more than 14 years of experience advising businesses, organizations, and individuals on commercial contracts, data protection, and various legal matters.
I provide legal support in contracts and commercial law, data protection and DPO services, digital and technology law, AI-related legal and compliance work, and litigation. I have completed training in the GDPR and the EU Artificial Intelligence Act.
I am an Independent Legal Consultant. I previously served as National Legal Officer in the Contract Law Division of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations migration agency, where I handled institutional and commercial contracts supporting international programs and operations and worked with governments, UN agencies, NGOs, donors, and other international stakeholders.
My practice also covers civil, criminal, labor, corporate, and administrative matters, including litigation, negotiations, mediation, and dispute resolution. I continue to practice litigation.
I began my legal practice at Jimeno Cope & David Law Offices, gaining experience in labor, contract, corporate, civil, and criminal law. I later joined Raymond Fortun Law Offices, now Fortun and Santos Law Offices, where I strengthened my practice in criminal and civil litigation, contracts, and corporate law.
