The partnership represents a strategic expansion of Andersen’s Philippine platform, enabling broader service offerings for local and multinational clients navigating the complexities of regional and global tax landscapes.

Founded in 2009 by Managing Partner Benedicta Du-Baladad, Du-Baladad and Associates (BDB Law) has earned a sterling reputation for its expertise in tax advisory and planning, transfer pricing, international tax, dispute resolution, compliance, and incentive assistance.

The firm’s clientele spans a wide range of industries—including energy, financial services, real estate, technology, and manufacturing—making it one of the most trusted names in the country’s professional services sector.

It has been consistently recognized by Chambers and Partners, International Tax Review, The Legal 500, and Asialaw for its excellence and thought leadership.

“Our firm is built on a total client-care approach that prioritizes practical and tailored strategies to manage risk and reinforce our clients’ business goals,” said Du-Baladad.

“Through this collaboration with Andersen Global, we will further expand our ability to deliver end-to-end solutions supported by the resources of the member and collaborating firms around the world.”

Mark L. Vorsatz, Global Chairman and CEO of Andersen, echoed this sentiment: “Du-Baladad and Associates brings a complete suite of tax capabilities with a proven track record of delivering value to clients in one of the most dynamic markets. Their addition strengthens our platform in the region and reinforces our commitment to providing comprehensive services globally.”

This move builds on Andersen Global’s momentum in the Philippines, where it has forged collaborations with other leading firms including Cruz Marcelo & Tenefrancia, a full-service law firm known for its robust litigation and corporate practice, and Gravitas Prime, which specializes in M&A, valuation, and strategic advisory for industries ranging from healthcare to energy.

Together, these partnerships allow Andersen Global to offer clients a unified and multidisciplinary service platform in the Philippines—blending global capabilities with local insights.

As international interest in the Philippine market continues to rise, Andersen’s integrated presence is well-positioned to support businesses in achieving compliance, growth, and long-term success across borders.

Andersen Global now boasts more than 20,000 professionals in over 500 locations worldwide, solidifying its role as a trusted global resource for tax, legal, and advisory services.
