Global Mobility, Manning & Overseas Employment

The Philippines is one of the world's largest sources of seafarers and skilled workers — and the regulatory chain that moves them is dense: DMW licensing and accreditation, POEA-standard employment contracts, placement-fee ceilings, OWWA welfare, and repatriation duties. We partner with land-based recruitment agencies, manning and crewing agencies, and foreign employers of OFWs to run that chain compliantly: obtaining and renewing licenses, structuring lawful placement-fee arrangements, drafting contracts that survive deployment, managing welfare and repatriation obligations, and resolving claims when things go wrong. We also defend the hardest cases — illegal-recruitment and trafficking allegations — where an agency's license, and its principals' liberty, are on the line.
