─ Boutique Healthcare Law · Makati
Where clinical practice meets legal accountability.
Counsel That Understands Healthcare
Roba Law advises hospitals, clinics, HMOs, local manning agencies and their foreign principals, healthcare organizations, and health professionals on regulatory compliance, medico-legal risk, and the law of patient care — led by a nurse-attorney who has stood on both sides of the chart.
─ What we do
Counsel built around the situations healthcare actually faces.
Eight focused areas — described by the problem you bring, not the statute it lives in.
Hospital Operations & Regulatory Compliance
Licensing, accreditation, and audit defense across DOH, PhilHealth, FDA, and PRC.
Medico-Legal, Risk & Crisis Management
Adverse events, claims, and the reputational fallout of healthcare incidents.
Labor & Employment
CBAs, the clinician engagements unique to healthcare, and seafarer claims.
Public-Sector Practice
Government procurement, bidding, civil-service cases, and COA audits.
Corporate, Investment & Market Entry
Healthcare FDI, NGO formation, and corporate housekeeping.
Contracts & Clinical Trials
Facility, HMO, vendor agreements, and research contracts.
Data Privacy & Medical Records
Lawful records release and NPC-ready privacy frameworks.
Legislative Advocacy & Policy Reform
Position papers, draft legislation, and comments on issuances.
Not sure where it fits?
Many healthcare problems sit between categories. Bring the situation — we'll find the right footing.
─ Why a boutique
Most lawyers learn healthcare from the outside. This practice learned it at the bedside first — then in the courtroom and the classroom.
One attorney, no handoffs
The person who understands the clinical chart is the same one who reads the contract and argues the case. Nothing is lost in translation.
Fluent in both records
Counsel that holds up to a regulator and a clinician alike — because it is written by someone who has stood on both sides.
Focused, not general
A practice devoted entirely to healthcare means faster judgment and fewer detours on the matters that matter to you.
─ Who we serve
If your work touches patient care, it likely touches ours.
Bring the matter. We'll tell you where you stand.
A focused first conversation about your situation, in confidence and without obligation.
