Standard professional fee
₱75,000
For corporations within the defined standard scope
A defined-scope legal-control engagement, not SEC filing assistance, corporate-secretary services, a compliance certification, or an assurance that every legal risk has been identified.
A management product, not document processing.
A management product, not document processing.
The review gives management a documented picture of selected corporate records, apparent inconsistencies, actions that need verification or regularization, authority and approval questions, reportorial responsibility, regulatory-account custody, and the next actions that are appropriate within scope.
Defined corporate-control review
Selected records and management disclosures, tied to the actual entity and agreed scope.
Corporate Legal Control File
A practical management deliverable rather than miscellaneous lawyer comments.
No secret-credential collection
Review control and custody, not passwords, OTPs, authentication codes, or private cryptographic credentials.
Standard scope: one corporation and approximately 150 pages
Standard scope: one corporation and approximately 150 pages
Ordinarily an existing domestic stock corporation or OPC
Non-stock corporations, partnerships, foreign corporations, public-interest corporations, entities with secondary licenses, heavily regulated businesses, and incentive-sensitive enterprises may require lawyer review before standard scope is confirmed.
An agreed document set of approximately 150 pages
This is a scope control, not a reason to give misleading advice. If additional material is reasonably necessary for an included issue, NLF may substitute documents, request limited material, or recommend expanded scope before further work.
Corporate risk questions tied to selected records.
Seven corporate-control areas
Corporate risk questions tied to selected records.
02
Ownership, capitalization & beneficial ownership
Selected ownership, capitalization, latest GIS, stock-and-transfer, and beneficial-ownership records, including HARBOR-related responsibility where applicable.
03
Board & shareholder governance
The most recent annual stockholders’ meeting, up to four selected board meetings or equivalent written actions, and selected material resolutions within the agreed document set.
04
Existing authority & reserved matters
An Existing Authority Map: who appears authorized for selected transactions, what approval or governing-record support exists, and which authority questions need verification. It does not invent authority limits.
05
SEC reportorial position
Selected records and evidence concerning GIS, AFS, other applicable recurring reports, filing confirmations, eWATCH status, disclosed notices, and ownership of reporting responsibility.
06
Regulatory account & access custody
Control and continuity around authorized users, filer roles, corporate contact channels, recovery ownership, backup ownership, and revocation. NLF never asks for passwords, OTPs, or authentication codes.
07
Essential books & corporate records
Whether selected essential records appear to exist, who maintains them, where they are maintained, apparent material gaps, and items that may require deeper reconstruction.
What is routed to a separate engagement
What is routed to a separate engagement
The review is not a shortcut for a live transaction, shareholder dispute, forensic reconstruction, regulatory investigation, deadline-sensitive filing, or heavily regulated-business assessment.
- Complete legal or SEC compliance certification, assurance engagement, or confirmation that the corporation is fully compliant
- Forensic reconstruction of historical share transfers, disputed ownership, nominee or trust analysis, or full reconstruction of corporate books
- Review of every historical minutes book, resolution, contract, filing, or transaction
- Preparation and filing of GIS, AFS, beneficial-ownership declarations, amendments, reports, or other SEC submissions
- Corporate-secretary services, accounting, tax, privacy, AML, or sector-specific regulatory audit
- Active shareholder disputes, merger/acquisition work, regulatory investigations, deadline-sensitive notices, or litigation
- Portal passwords, OTPs, authentication codes, or other secret credentials

One management conference of approximately 60 minutes
Supported by Records, Needs Verification, and Action Required are working classifications for the selected materials, not compliance scores or assurances. Where management has no formal authority policy, the report identifies a management decision required rather than inventing a limit on behalf of the corporation.

Initial intake should not include passwords, OTPs, or bulk confidential records. NLF confirms conflicts, entity fit, scope, and accepted materials before substantive review. Further remediation or filing work, if appropriate, is separately evaluated and remains optional.
Questions management commonly asks
Questions management commonly asks
Can you tell us that we are SEC compliant?
No. The review identifies issues apparent from selected records and disclosed facts within scope. It is not a certification or assurance engagement.
Can an OPC use the standard scope?
Potentially. NLF will confirm entity fit because the OPC workflow differs from an ordinary stock-corporation workflow.
Will you set our signatory limits?
The review maps apparent existing authority and questions requiring verification. A proposed delegation or reserved-matters matrix, if appropriate, requires separate corporate decision-making and scope.
Do you need our eSECURE password?
No. NLF reviews authorized-user, custody, continuity, and recovery controls. Do not send passwords, OTPs, or authentication codes.
Can you fix any identified issue?
Where objectively warranted, filing, regularization, corporate-secretary, transaction, dispute, or specialist work may be separately scoped. The diagnostic has standalone value.
Determine whether the standard review fits your corporation.
Determine whether the standard review fits your corporation.
Request a conflict check and scope confirmation. Please do not send passwords, OTPs, bulk documents, or other confidential records through the initial form.
Request Conflict Check & Scope ConfirmationSubmitting an inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship. Conflict clearance and written engagement acceptance are required before representation begins.
