Every case is a story.
We're particular about endings.

Who We Are

A small firm, on purpose.

BGC Legal started with a simple observation: most people don't need the biggest firm in the city. They need one lawyer who reads their problem closely, tells them the truth about it, and answers the phone when it rings.

So we stayed small — deliberately. Three attorneys, one long table, and a rule we never break: the person who shakes your hand at the first meeting is the person who sees your matter through to the last. We act for founders and family businesses, for expatriates finding their footing in the Philippines, and for families navigating the chapters nobody plans for.

  • The attorney you meet on day one is still your attorney on day one hundred
  • Fees in writing before the work begins — no fine print of our own
  • By appointment only, so when you're here, you're the only client in the room
  • Thirty-six floors above the traffic, ten minutes from anywhere in BGC

What We Do

Practice Areas

Six ways we earn our keep.

Corporate & Commercial

Incorporation, contracts, SEC filings, joint ventures — the paperwork that lets you build something without it wobbling later. We draft carefully so you never litigate over what a comma meant.

Litigation & Disputes

Some fights find you anyway. When one does, you want counsel who is calm in a courtroom and honest about your odds — before you spend a single peso pursuing them.

Real Estate & Property

Land here comes with history. We trace titles, read every annotation, and make sure the story your broker tells you matches the one at the Registry of Deeds.

Labor & Employment

Hiring, letting go, and everything DOLE has an opinion about. We keep employers compliant and employees fairly treated — occasionally in the same room.

Immigration & Visas

Work visas, 9(g) petitions, retirement residency. We walk expatriates and their employers through the Bureau of Immigration with paperwork in order and patience intact.

Family Law & Estates

Annulment, adoption, wills, inheritance — the matters people whisper about. We handle them at conversation volume, behind a closed door.

Our People

Principal Attorneys

Three names on the door. The same three people in the room.

Atty. Eduardo Cabrera Dela Cruz, Managing Partner at BGC Legal

Atty. Eduardo Cabrera Dela Cruz

Managing Partner · Corporate & Commercial

Reads contracts the way other people read novels — closely, and with strong opinions about the ending. Founders come for the incorporation papers; they stay for the counsel that keeps them off a courtroom calendar.

Atty. Maria Cabrera Cheng, Senior Partner at BGC Legal

Atty. Maria Cabrera Cheng

Senior Partner · Litigation & Disputes

Argues for a living, listens for a hobby. Clients tend to describe Maria as the calmest person in any courtroom — a calm built on preparation that borders on the obsessive.

Atty. Daniel Aquino Mercado, Partner at BGC Legal

Atty. Daniel Aquino Mercado

Partner · Real Estate, Family & Immigration

The one clients call first and thank last, usually with pastries. Equally at home tracing a fifty-year-old land title and walking a family through its most difficult chapter.

Bring us the problem. We'll bring the plan.

By appointment, on the 36th floor or over video. Either way, you leave knowing exactly where you stand.
