Do I need a lawyer for immigration services?

No. What you need is an experienced, accredited and qualified immigration liaison officer.  The Bureau of Immigration require service providers to be bonded and for their liaison officers to take a short course and pass a qualifying examination.  Scobell fully complies with these qualification requirements.

Does Scobell employ lawyers and accountants?

If we employed such highly qualified and expensive people, we would have to charge accordingly.  We do not so we don’t.  We do however retain a small firm of highly qualified Accountants for advice and guidance where law or circumstance requires their skills and qualifications.  Likewise, we have access to good lawyers who do not confuse Manila with Manhattan when it comes to their fees.

Do you provide registered office facilities?

Yes for accommodation and for compliance with legal requirements.  We do not however seek to offer business center facilities.  There are several excellent specialist firms for this.

Do you provide bookkeeping services for your clients?

Yes we do selectively.  Talk to us about it.  We can certainly help.

Can you supply us with a reference?

We never disclose our clients names but you may contact the Commercial section the Embassy or the Executive directors of the British or European Chambers of Commerce.  Upon requests, we can also ask a client to receive your inquiry.

Would you accept a mandate from potentially competing clients?

For work permits and visas, Yes.  For business development and representation, No.
