V&A Law

V&A Law is the trading name of Villaraza & Angangco, a Philippine law firm. The company states that it was founded in 1980, and its office is in the Law Center building, 11th Avenue corner 39th Street, Bonifacio Global City, Metro Manila.

Practice areas

For the gaming and payments sector, the firm lists five areas:

• gaming licensing;
• regulatory compliance;
• corporate structuring;
• tax;
• contracts.

Together they cover the path of an operator entering the Philippine market: obtaining the right licence, structuring the local entity, handling tax questions and documenting commercial relationships with suppliers and partners. The profile does not name specific regulators, licence types or client matters, so the exact scope of any mandate should be agreed directly with the firm.

Markets

The firm works in the Philippines. This matters for operators and payment providers that serve gaming customers there and need local counsel familiar with the licensing and compliance regime.

Who it suits

The firm is relevant to gaming operators, platform providers and payment companies planning to start or restructure activity in the Philippines and looking for a law firm that combines licensing work with corporate and tax advice. Fees are not published.
