Practice areas

Six disciplines, practiced together.

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.

I.

Corporate & M&A

Formation, financing, joint ventures, acquisitions, and exits — from seed term sheets to nine-figure cross-border transactions.

II.

Technology & IP

SaaS contracts, IP portfolios, data privacy, licensing, and platform regulatory matters.

III.

Tax & Wealth

Structuring, estate planning, family-office governance, and BIR controversies.

IV.

Litigation & Arbitration

Commercial disputes, construction arbitration, and regulatory enforcement.

V.

Real Estate

Acquisitions, development, leasing, and FCRD reporting for foreign principals.

VI.

Employment

Executive contracts, equity plans, restructurings, and DOLE matters.

Attorneys

Senior counsel. Always partner-led.

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.

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.
