Compliance no longer comes after growth.

In the Philippines, it increasingly shapes how businesses are structured and how risk appears early.

As regulation becomes more digital, weak processes surface faster. This makes early planning and system design more important than reactive fixes.

How compliance is designed today often determines how smoothly a business grows tomorrow.

At AJA Law, we support businesses through regulatory change with early awareness and informed planning.

Regulatory risk today is less about isolated rules and more about how systems, technology, and operations intersect.

For businesses in the Philippines, early awareness of these shifts can reduce friction and support better planning throughout the year.

At AJA Law, we help clients stay informed early, so decisions are made with clarity rather than urgency.

A night to pause, celebrate, and come together.

As the year draws to a close, we gathered not just to mark another Christmas season but to celebrate the people behind the work, the teamwork, dedication, and shared moments that shaped our year at AJA Law.

From conversations over good food to laughter that filled the room, the evening reminded us that beyond deadlines and decisions, it’s the relationships we build that truly matter. This Christmas party was a chance to slow down, reconnect, and appreciate how far we’ve come together.

Grateful for a year of growth, resilience, and collective wins. Here’s to carrying this spirit of camaraderie into the year ahead.

From all of us at AJA Law, we wish everyone a joyful Christmas and a prosperous New Year. ✨

Are you selling goods or services online to Filipino consumers? The Internet Transactions Act and its IRR now set clear rules for sellers, marketplaces, and platforms. Businesses must verify sellers, present accurate product information, remove harmful or unverified listings, manage complaints efficiently, and secure permits for regulated goods. The DTI may issue compliance and takedown orders and may blacklist non-compliant entities.

Reach AJA Law through the contact information on www.ajalaw.ph.

Tourism is vital to the economy, but when environmental laws are unevenly enforced, it can damage the very destinations that attract visitors. From weak waste management to fragile ecosystems under pressure, the challenge is not the absence of laws, but how to make them work in practice.

Are you a foreign national eyeing to work in the Philippines but not sure where to start?

You might need an Alien Employment Permit (AEP), a work permit issued by the Department of Labor and Employment that makes your employment in the Philippines legal and compliant with labor and immigration regulations.

Avoid delays or even rejection. Let AJA Law guide you through the process and help secure your AEP with confidence!
