A boutique commercial firm advising growth-stage technology companies, family enterprises, and the principals who run them.
We are a small partner-led firm. Most matters touch two or three of our practice areas, and that's how we like it — coordinated counsel without the silos.
Formation, financing, joint ventures, acquisitions, and exits — from seed term sheets to nine-figure cross-border transactions.
SaaS contracts, IP portfolios, data privacy, licensing, and platform regulatory matters.
Structuring, estate planning, family-office governance, and BIR controversies.
Commercial disputes, construction arbitration, and regulatory enforcement.
Acquisitions, development, leasing, and FCRD reporting for foreign principals.
Executive contracts, equity plans, restructurings, and DOLE matters.
Every Vellum engagement is led by a partner from intake to close. We don't pyramid junior associates onto matters and bill back the difference.
22 years. Led 40+ technology-sector transactions across SE Asia. Former counsel at Sycip Salazar.
17 years. Leads our family-office practice. Past chair of the Philippine Tax Academy.
14 years. Construction and infrastructure disputes. SIAC and PDRC appointed arbitrator.
Vellum closed a complicated cross-border acquisition for us in eight weeks — the previous firm we engaged took five months and a memo of misunderstanding. They are the partner-led practice they advertise.
Our partners work side by side — no virtual assistants, no relocation chains. If you've engaged us, you know which room to walk into.
