A client who deals with such lawyer or law firm would likewise encounter difficulty should he have cases outside of the base of operation of his lawyer.  Worse, sending his lawyer to other parts of the country would prove very costly in terms of time, money and effort.

And in the event the client or his lawyer has cross border transactions or cases requiring the services of international lawyers or law firms outside the Philippines, difficulty in establishing international contacts is the usual drawback of local firms.

It is this need that ChanRobles LawNet seeks to fulfill.

By establishing a nationwide network of independent lawyers and law firms which shall function as a strong and cohesive alliance of professional firms in the areas of referral of cases, consultations and professional services, ChanRobles LawNet seeks to provide an effective vehicle and venue to facilitate, both on the part of lawyers and their clients, the handling of cases, research work and cross border consultations on important legal issues and controversies affecting their respective practice areas.

The members of the ChanRobles LawNet shall continue to be autonomous and independent from each other and there shall be no partnership established among each other by reason or as a consequence of membership in the network.  They shall continue to operate and function independently from each other.

From the Secretariat in Metro Manila, each member shall be provided with hard or electronic copies of the latest Supreme Court decisions and circulars as well as other legal materials from government offices and other sources on any areas of law of interest to the members.  From the electronic database of the Virtual Law Library of ChanRobles LawNet, members shall be updated on legal materials on a regular basis  through the Internet.

Follow-up and verification of cases in each member's jurisdiction will be greatly facilitated and enhanced through ChanRobles LawNet.
