This involves a thorough analysis of what occurred, why, and an evaluation of available legal remedies to bolster the defense. Considering the facts and laws, I explore win-win solutions and alternatives to litigation that best serve all parties involved. Emphasizing preventive litigation, I advocate for clear contract drafting, outlining rights and obligations to avoid misinterpretation. Encouraging proactive measures, such as formulating policies and procedures, helps anticipate and address potential issues before they escalate into legal problems. While there's no one-size-fits-all strategy, a Chief Legal Officer must exhibit diligence, foresight, and creativity to efficiently and fairly resolve legal matters, emphasizing transaction closure, litigation prevention, and timely issue resolution.Going forward, what is your future roadmap?My future roadmap involves embracing the present while seeking continuous growth. To broaden my expertise beyond the legal domain, I plan to engage in business courses, attend seminars, and utilize online tools. Surrounding myself with mentors and absorbing various business aspects, I aim to share knowledge with my team and those open to learning. Accepting new challenges and additional roles, I aspire to mentor others on a similar path. Ultimately, I desire to give back to my family, especially my supportive wife, by leaving a positive impact on the organizations I've worked for and contributing to their improvement. · Hobbies: Watching movies and TV series· Favourite Cuisine: Filipino & Chinese· Favourite Book: The Art of War· Favourite Travel Destination: Balesin Island Resort, Philippines· Awards & Recognitions:· Selected as one of The Legal 500 GC Powerlist Philippines 2023 · Inside Asian Gaming Academy, nominated for the Rising Star Category in 2023I believe effective leadership goesbeyond professional duties; it involves caring, displaying empathy, & understanding challenges from their perspective
