Jacqueline Ann “Jacqui” C. Alegre-Tan
With her background in dispute resolution and immersion in commercial transactions, Jacqui rejoined ACCRALAW and contributed to the Tax Department’s growing tax litigation practice. Her training as a business lawyer prepared her for the arduous task of attending to clients’ day-to-day commercial tax matters, managing and mitigating the risks of tax audits, securing acquittals on criminal violations of tax laws arising from commercial dealings, and obtaining tax refunds for clients from different industries.
The Legal 500 Asia Pacific recognized Jacqui’s abilities when she was named as Recommended Lawyer for Tax in 2022 and 2023. She also successfully secured the acquittal of the first Filipina Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Maria A. Ressa from tax evasion charges as the main litigator of the ACCRALAW team.
Jacqui is an active member of the Tax Management Association of the Philippines. She is also an alumna of Ateneo Law School and has been invited to sit as a panel member of the thesis defense on topics related to tax and remedial law. She also holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree Major in Legal Management from the De La Salle University and was recently recognized as an accomplished alumni of the Ramon V. del Rosario College of Business.
Outside of work, Jacqui enjoys travelling, watching Korean telenovelas, online shopping, planning family and kiddie events, and spending quality time with her husband, Ryan, and their two children.
