Taguig, National Capital Region, Philippines Arden Consult Full time ₱1,200,000 - ₱2,400,000 per year

Join the Premier Technology-Focused Consulting Firm in the Philippines

Arden Consult is the premier technology-focused consulting firm in the Philippines, representing many of of the largest and most influential institutions at the intersection of law, tax, business, and emerging technologies. We are Chambers-ranked and Lexology-ranked for our work in TMT and Gaming Law and continue to be the go-to advisor for cutting-edge issues in these rapidly evolving sectors.

We are expanding our existing office and operations in BGC, and are looking for a Junior Legal Counsel ready to build a strong foundation in corporate, commercial, and regulatory practice.

This role is specifically designed for candidates with less than one (1) year of full-time legal work experience who want meaningful exposure, hands-on work, and direct client interaction early in their careers.

You might be a good fit if...

  • You're a newly admitted lawyer or have up to one year of work experience and want substantive, real-world exposure early.
  • You're excited by corporate, commercial, tax, and regulatory issues—especially in crypto, gaming, fintech, media, and technology.
  • You want to learn fast, take on responsibility, and work directly with partners and international clients.
  • You're detail-oriented, proactive, and eager to grow in a high-performing, collaborative environment.
  • You're comfortable doing foundational legal tasks (research, filings, drafting, compliance support) and want to develop toward more complex transactional work.

What you'll do

  • Assist in preparing, reviewing, and drafting contracts and commercial agreements (e.g., service agreements, NDAs, partnership agreements).
  • Support on corporate transactions, including due diligence, documentation, compliance checks, and coordinating with counterparties.
  • Help with regulatory applications, license submissions, and communications with agencies such as PAGCOR, SEC, and DTI.
  • Conduct legal and regulatory research and translate findings into clear, actionable recommendations.
  • Assist clients in developing internal compliance and risk management processes.
  • Work with foreign or cross-border clients to ensure smooth coordination and clear communication.
  • Stay up to date with developments in key sectors such as gaming, fintech, media, and technology.

What we're looking for

  • Juris Doctor (JD) from a reputable law school
  • Active (or soon to be) member of the Philippine Bar
  • Up to 1 year of legal work experience (internships, externships, clinics, and apprenticeships count)
  • Strong legal research, writing, and drafting skills
  • Ability to manage time, handle multiple matters, and work collaboratively
  • Professional communication skills and a client-focused mindset
  • Willingness to handle both foundational legal tasks and more substantive client work

Huge Plus

  • CPA license or accounting background — many of our matters involve tax, regulatory compliance, and financial structuring
  • Experience working with regulatory agencies or handling tax-related matters
  • Exposure to or interest in Gaming, Fintech, and TMT sectors
  • Experience supporting cross-border or international clients
