viii. Practice areas
Agrarian reform
CLOAs, emancipation patents, agrarian reform beneficiary cooperatives and agrarian disputes.
Agrarian matters involve farmers, landowners and the Department of Agrarian Reform. We assist farmer-beneficiaries, their cooperatives and landowners in agrarian cases and transactions.
How we can help
- Issues involving CLOAs and emancipation patents
- Disputes between landowners and tenants or beneficiaries
- Cases before the DAR and the DARAB
- Agrarian reform beneficiary cooperatives
- Transfers and restrictions on awarded lands
- Coverage and exemption questions
How it usually proceeds
- Document review. We review the title, CLOA or patent, and the DAR records.
- Choosing the forum. Some issues go to the DAR Secretary or its offices, while disputes go to the DARAB or the courts.
- Filing and hearings. We prepare and file the case and attend the hearings.
- Resolution. We see the matter through to decision and implementation.
