INCORPORATION

The first step to creating a successful business is choosing the right type of entity to form. Atty. Rhoda Yabes Alvarez can assist you in establishing a limited liability corporation (LLC) and limited liability partnerships (LLPs), among other business entities, both here and in the Philippines.

CONTRACTS AND OTHER CORPORATE DOCUMENTS

As part of the incorporation process, we will assist you in drafting strong formation documents, such as articles of incorporation and bylaws, so that you can establish the best framework within which to grow your business. We will also draft the contracts and documentation you need to protect your interests today and in the future. Aside from drafting, our firm can also advise you in your transactions, including, for instance, sales, purchases and transfers.

SPECIAL POWERS OF ATTORNEY AND TRUST FORMATION

Business clients frequently consult with us regarding control and/or succession matters. A special power of attorney can give a designated individual decision-making power, and a trust can facilitate the transfer of a business to succeeding generations or an outside party. Using tailored planning techniques, Atty. Rhoda Yabes Alvarez can help you formulate and establish control and transfer strategies.

RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE

Owning a business often requires you to purchase, sell, or lease property over the course of a business’ lifetime. In order to protect your interests and come away from real estate transactions in the most gainful position possible, it is important to have your sales, purchase, and lease agreements thoroughly evaluated. We are able to guide businesses through various types of real estate transactions.
