Disclosure

Read this before you rely on anything here

This website describes what GET Cabrera Law does and how we work. It is a description of a practice, not the practice itself. The terms below govern your use of getcabreralaw.com. By using the site, you accept them. If you do not, please do not use the site.

1. No lawyer-client relationship

Visiting this site, reading it, submitting the contact form, booking a consultation slot, or exchanging emails with us does not create a lawyer-client relationship.

A relationship with this firm begins only when we have run a conflicts check, agreed on the scope of the work, and both signed a written engagement letter. Until all three have happened, we are not your lawyers, we owe you no duty to act, and you should not assume we are attending to your deadlines or protecting your interests.

2. General information, not legal advice

The content on this site is general information about areas of Philippine law and about our practice. It is not legal advice and is not a substitute for it.

Legal outcomes turn on facts. A provision that is decisive in one matter is irrelevant in another, and a rule that applied last year may have been amended since. Do not act, or decline to act, on the strength of anything you read here. Consult a lawyer about your actual circumstances.

3. Send us nothing confidential until we are engaged

Do not send confidential, privileged, or sensitive information through the contact form, the notification form, or unsolicited email.

We take unsolicited communications seriously and treat them with discretion. But before an engagement exists, we cannot guarantee confidentiality, and we may already be acting for someone whose interests are adverse to yours — which is precisely what the conflicts check exists to find out. Information you volunteer before we have cleared conflicts could compromise your position or disqualify us from acting for you.

Tell us who you are and, in general terms, what the matter concerns. Wait for our confirmation before sending the substance.

4. How an engagement actually begins

1. You make contact and describe the matter in general terms.
2. We run a conflicts check.
3. If we are clear to act, we discuss scope, approach, and fees.
4. We issue an engagement letter setting out the scope, the fee arrangement, and the terms.
5. The engagement begins when that letter is signed.

We may decline a matter without giving a reason. Declining does not reflect on the merits of your position.

5. No guarantee of results

Nothing on this site is a promise, warranty, or prediction of any particular outcome.

Descriptions of our experience, sectors served, or prior work describe what has been done, not what will happen in your matter. Regulatory outcomes, contract negotiations, and disputes depend on facts, evidence, counterparties, regulators, and tribunals — none of which any lawyer controls.

6. The content ages

Philippine law changes. Statutes are amended, implementing rules are issued and revised, agencies reissue their guidance, and the Supreme Court promulgates new rules.

We update this site when we can, but we do not warrant that any page is current, complete, or accurate as of the date you read it. Where a page refers to a specific issuance, check the issuing authority for the operative text.

7. Electronic notarization — current status

GET Cabrera Law is pursuing commissioning as an Electronic Notary Public under the Supreme Court’s Rules on Electronic Notarization (A.M. No. 24-10-14-SC).

We are not yet commissioned, and we do not yet perform electronic notarial acts. The pages describing this service describe a service we intend to offer once a commission is issued to us. Nothing on this site should be read as a representation that we hold a notarial commission at present. We will say so plainly on this site when that changes.

8. Where we are admitted to practice

The lawyers of GET Cabrera Law are admitted to the practice of law in the Republic of the Philippines, and the firm advises on Philippine law only.

Nothing on this site is an offer to practise law in any jurisdiction where the firm is not authorized to do so. Where a matter touches foreign law, we say so and work with counsel qualified in that jurisdiction.

9. Links to other sites

This site links to third-party resources, including government and court websites and the platforms we use for scheduling and notifications.

We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy, or privacy practices. A link is a pointer, not an endorsement. When you leave this site, the terms and privacy notice of the destination govern.

10. Third-party tools on this site

Our consultation booking and service-notification features are provided by third-party platforms. When you use them, you are also dealing with those providers under their terms and privacy notices. We are responsible for what we do with the information you send us through them — not for how those platforms operate.

How we handle what you submit is set out in our Data Privacy Notice.

11. Ownership of this site’s content

All content on this site — text, layout, graphics, the GET Cabrera Law name, and the firm’s logos and marks — is owned by GET Cabrera Law or used under licence, and is protected by Philippine and international intellectual property law.

You may read, print, and share pages for your own information or internal reference. You may not reproduce, republish, adapt, or use any part of this site commercially, or use our name or marks, without our written permission.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent Philippine law allows, GET Cabrera Law is not liable for any loss or damage — direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or otherwise — arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site or its content, or from any inability to access it.

This site is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied.

Nothing in this clause limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited, and nothing here limits the obligations we owe our clients under signed engagement letters or under the Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability.

13. Professional standards

The lawyers of GET Cabrera Law practise under the Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability (A.M. No. 22-09-01-SC) and are subject to the disciplinary authority of the Supreme Court of the Philippines and the Integrated Bar of the Philippines.

The duty of confidentiality under Canon III, Section 27 of that Code — to maintain the confidences of the client and to respect data privacy laws — governs everything we hold for a client, and continues after the engagement ends.

14. Governing law and venue

These terms, and your use of this site, are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. Any dispute arising from them falls to the exclusive jurisdiction of the proper courts of Las Piñas City, Metro Manila, to the exclusion of all other venues.

15. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms at any time. The revised version takes effect when posted, and the revision date at the top will tell you when that was. Continued use of the site after a revision means you accept it.

16. Severability

If any provision of these terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains in force.
