Featured Lawyer

Jacqueline Ann “Jacqui” C. Alegre-Tan

ACCRALAW Partner Jacqueline Ann “Jacqui” C. Alegre-Tan is with the Firm’s Tax Department and currently serves as its Monitor. She began her legal career in ACCRALAW’s Litigation and Dispute Resolution Department where she represented clients in civil, criminal, and commercial disputes before different levels of courts. Although litigation-focused in early years of law practice, Jacqui had her fair share in contract review work while she was seconded by ACCRALAW to a client company in the beauty and cosmetics industry. She assisted that client in the review of its supplier and customer contracts.

She briefly joined Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation and took on the role of Operations Lawyer, catering to the different branches spread across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, and to other business units of said bank.
