In the Philippines, contracts are governed primarily by the Civil Code and must meet essential requisites such as consent, object, and cause to be valid. JK Law assists clients by meticulously drafting and reviewing contracts to safeguard their interests and ensure legal compliance. Whether it involves business agreements, leases, employment contracts, or service arrangements, we help avoid ambiguities, illegal terms, or one-sided provisions—minimizing future disputes and legal exposure.
Contracts
Contracts are the foundation of business and legal relationships. Whether for employment, supply, lease, services, partnerships, or sales, contracts define each party’s rights and responsibilities.
Under Philippine law, a valid contract must have consent, a lawful object, and a cause or consideration. Poorly written contracts can lead to disputes, financial loss, or even legal invalidity.
Types of Contracts:
01
Written or Oral
Both are valid, but written contracts are preferred for clarity and proof.
02
Unilateral or Bilateral
One party vs. mutual obligations.
03
Nominate or Innominate
​Named by law (e.g., lease, sale) vs. custom arrangements.
