About:

Hi, I'm Atty. Mary Iway. My journey in the legal field began even before I became a lawyer. I started working as a paralegal in 2020, and despite the delays brought about by the pandemic, I remained deeply involved in legal work until I officially passed the bar in 2022. Since then, I’ve built my experience in both law firm and in-house settings. I am currently the Head of Legal and Compliance at a BPO based in Makati City, where I focus on corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and ensuring adherence to both local and international legal standards. Whether you're looking for insights on regulatory matters, compliance issues, or legal operations in the corporate space—especially within the outsourcing industry—I’d be happy to connect. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
