Our Legal and HR Retainer services provide businesses with continuous expert support in legal and human resources management, ensuring compliance with Philippine laws and regulations. We help safeguard corporate standing, mitigate risks, and maintain legally sound operations.

Why Consider Legal and HR Retainers for Your Business

Businesses often encounter legal and HR challenges — such as regulatory non-compliance, employment disputes, contract risks, and governance issues — that can disrupt operations and result in costly penalties. Without timely guidance, these issues may escalate and expose the company to legal liability and reputational harm.

Having reliable and professional partners ensures these challenges are addressed proactively and consistently. Legal and HR retainer services provide continuous access to trusted advisors who understand the business, help navigate complex issues efficiently, and support long-term stability and regulatory compliance.

Legal and HR Retainer FAQs

For your reference and guidance, here are the frequently asked questions about our legal and HR retainers in the Philippines:

What is a retainer, and how does it work?

A retainer is an ongoing service arrangement in which you pay a fixed fee to secure continuous access to legal and/or HR expertise. Under this arrangement, our firm provides proactive advice, compliance monitoring, and guidance on corporate or workforce matters, allowing you to consult us as needed within the agreed scope.

How does a retainer differ from hiring a lawyer or HR consultant on an ad hoc basis?

With a retainer, you have continuous access to our legal and HR expertise at a predictable cost, allowing proactive risk management and consistent support rather than paying per service or issue.  

How does a retainer improve my company's operational efficiency?

By providing ongoing support, guidance, and documentation, retainers allow your internal teams to focus on core business activities while ensuring legal and HR compliance. 

What specific services are included under your retainers?

The services included in our retainers can be tailored to the specific needs of your business or your preferences as our client. These typically encompass legal counsel, corporate housekeeping, labor compliance, HR consulting, contract and policy drafting, and guidance on relevant regulatory matters.

Are litigation and complex transactions included in your retainers?

Typically, retainers cover advisory and compliance services. Major litigation, mergers, or highly specialized transactions are usually handled separately but can still be incorporated with prior agreements. 

What is the cost structure of your retainers?

Our retainers are on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis, providing predictable costs and priority access to our legal and HR support. 

How much do your retainers cost?

Our retainers start at PHP 15,000 per month, which may still vary depending on the scope of services, size of your business, and specific compliance needs. For a personalized quote, please contact our Sales Team through this link: Contact Us.
