What Gorriceta Africa Cauton & Saavedra does

Gorriceta Africa Cauton & Saavedra is a privately held, full-service Philippine law firm founded in 2015 and headquartered at the 15/F Strata 2000, F. Ortigas Jr. Road, Ortigas Center, Pasig City. The firm delivers legal advisory services across eleven practice areas — Corporate and Business Services, Technology Media and Telecommunications, Mergers and Acquisitions, Banking and Finance, Taxation, Data Privacy, Capital Markets, Labor and Employment, Projects and Energy, Intellectual Property, and Dispute Resolution — serving enterprise clients that include listed corporates, conglomerates, fintechs, digital banks, telecommunications groups, and PE/VC sponsors.

The firm operates on a professional services model, generating revenue through billable hours, fixed-fee mandates, and retainer arrangements scoped to matter complexity and engagement duration. Pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed; engagements are typically multi-year or recurring across portfolios. No proprietary technology platform underlies delivery — service production is partner-led, leveraging a team of over 60 legal professionals and a total staff of more than 100.

Distribution is anchored on direct partner relationships and referrals, reinforced by industry recognition (Legal 500 Tier 1 in TMT; ALB Philippine Law Awards across Tax, Banking & Financial Services, and PE/VC in 2022; ALB Asia Top ESG Law Firms 2026; Asia Business Law Journal A-List 2024). Geographic reach extends beyond the Philippines through partner firm Yusarn Audrey (Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur) and strategic alliance Euro Latam Lex (Europe, Latin America, USA), with a multilingual website supporting cross-border client acquisition.
