Manolette specializes in labor law practice- specifically in the imposition of labor standards and the engagement of labor relations in the workplace. He advises in matters involving commercial dealings and corporate transactions, business registration and compliance, election laws, administrative laws and laws of public interest, real estate and property acquisition, investment and financing enterprise, project development, regulatory compliance, among others. He is also involved in dispute resolution, and manifests this specialty in theory- as a lecturer, and in practice- as an accredited arbitrator and court mediator. As a lawyer, he has always been a believer of Preventive Lawyering- a professional construct stating that legal disputes can be won through out-of-court settlement, and litigation before the magistrates should always be a matter of last resort.
