Transportation Law
The movement of people, goods, and resources across cities and countries serves as the driving force of the global economy. Given its critical role in commerce, national security, and everyday life, the transportation sector operates under extensive regulation and faces constant scrutiny from both government and the public.
To keep pace with the demands of an evolving global economy, the industry remains at the forefront of innovation—continually reshaping the regulatory landscape. A clear example of this transformation is the emergence of Transport Network Companies (TNCs) and Transport Network Vehicle Services (TNVS). In response to this new mode of public transportation, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) issued Department Order No. 2015-11, recognizing and formalizing the operation of these services. This development, however, also introduced new and complex legal challenges, including the proliferation of fraudulent Certificates of Public Convenience (CPCs) that left legitimate operators and applicants vulnerable to exploitation.
Acknowledging the growing need for competent legal support within this sector, AAC Law forged a partnership with Southeast Asia’s leading TNC to provide comprehensive legal services tailored to the unique demands of TNVS operators. The firm offers end-to-end assistance—from the initial CPC application and hearings, to renewal and compliance with Land Transportation Office (LTO) requirements—ensuring clients receive thorough guidance at every stage of their operations. AAC Law also represents operators in related proceedings, such as complaint hearings and summons compliance, maintaining a commitment to efficient and client-centered service.
Beyond TNVS representation, AAC Law possesses extensive experience in vehicle registration and the accreditation of dealers and importers. The firm is retained by well-known brands and companies engaged in the transportation industry. Its services include securing Certificates of Conformity and Certificates of Registration for various types of vehicles, further demonstrating its capability and expertise in navigating complex regulatory frameworks.
