Our clients therefore have ready answers to the basic questions which affect their business operations,” Divina said.

The book itself is a valuable resource for law students and Bar reviewees, as well as an interesting reference source for academicians, practitioners, members of the Bench and all those who navigate the landscape of commercial law.

It lays out in clear language the laws on Insurance, pre-need companies, transportation, business organizations, securities, general banking, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp., Intellectual Property, Personal Property Securities, Truth in Lending, Anti-Money Laundering, Foreign Investment, financial rehabilitation and insolvency, data privacy and Philippine competition as well as laws on negotiable Instruments, trust receipts, and e-commerce.
