Atty. Noel C. Ducusin is the Director for M&A at DoingBusinessPH, where he works with offshore investors—primarily from Japan, Europe, the US, and Southeast Asia—seeking to enter the Philippine market through acquisitions, joint ventures, and strategic partnerships. He also advises local companies, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals on originating and executing transactions, including preparing businesses to be investment-ready through reverse due diligence.

His work spans the full M&A cycle: identifying counterparties, managing due diligence, leading negotiations, structuring transactions, arranging financing, and coordinating with trusted vendors such as banks, suppliers, and contractors. For startups and new ventures, he helps design fundraising-ready structures and connects them with investors, making DoingBusinessPH a natural bridge between global capital and local opportunity.

Beyond transactions, Noel and his team provide executive education and professional development through speaking events, seminars, and small-group sessions like business lunches and roundtables, then carry that value forward into practical, business-ready solutions. These include annual subscriptions for legal and regulatory updates, customized in-house corporate training, and post-event compliance audits, along with exclusive deep-dive masterclasses and peer mastermind groups for executives. They also prepare executive toolkits with ready-to-use templates and offer premium one-on-one consulting sessions—all designed to turn the insights gained from these settings into clear, actionable steps that help investors and businesses navigate the Philippine market with confidence.

A lawyer by training with a degree in Business Management, Noel is also Senior Partner at N. Ducusin & Partners Law Offices, which specializes in Mergers & Acquisitions, Investments, Cross-Border Regulatory, and Corporate Advisory. Over the years, he has developed deep, practical expertise in corporate finance, company valuation, and financial modeling through hands-on involvement as part of the deal team in live transactions. This combination of legal and financial experience allows him to bridge both perspectives seamlessly, ensuring that deals are not only executed but positioned for long-term success.

He is always looking forward to comparing notes with investors, startups, and vendors to explore where his clients’ mandates align with theirs and to uncover potential opportunities and collaborations that benefit both sides.
