Whether you are a foreign investor, a business owner, or planning to establish your first business in Indonesia, we offer the legal solutions and expertise to assist you in navigating the legal aspects of business. We are here to help you take control of your business's legal journey. Our extensive experience extends to guiding foreign direct investment (FDI), establishing local companies (PT), and ensuring ongoing corporate governance, all within the context of a rapidly evolving and complex Indonesian market.

The Indonesian corporate legal landscape presents unique challenges that can impact a business's success and sustainability. Key issues commonly faced by our clients include:

• Foreign Investment Restrictions: Navigating the Investment Positive List to identify business sectors open to foreign ownership and complying with any shareholding limitations.

• Complex Company Establishment: Understanding the correct legal entity for your business—especially for foreign-owned companies (PT PMA) and meeting the specific requirements for deeds of establishment, minimum capital, and multi-layered licensing.

• Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring adherence to the myriad of regulations governing business activities, from corporate reporting and tax obligations to the new Online Single Submission (OSS) system for risk-based business licensing.

• Corporate Governance: Maintaining good governance and avoiding potential liabilities for directors and shareholders, which are strictly regulated under Indonesian law.

Our work is grounded in the foundational legal instruments that govern corporate activity in Indonesia:

• Law No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies (UUPT): This is the primary law governing the establishment, operation, and dissolution of companies in Indonesia, including the responsibilities of directors and commissioners.

• Law No. 25 of 2007 on Investment: This law, significantly amended by the Omnibus Law (Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation), provides the legal basis for all domestic and foreign investment in Indonesia, including the crucial Presidential Regulation No. 10 of 2021 (the Investment Positive List).

• Government Regulation No. 5 of 2021: This regulation details the implementation of risk-based business licensing through the OSS system, which is a key part of the government's effort to simplify permits.

Our legal expertise is applied by analyzing how these regulations directly impact your business goals. We provide a clear roadmap through the legal process, from advising on the optimal corporate structure and navigating foreign ownership limitations to guiding you through the OSS system to secure your Business Identification Number (NIB) and relevant licenses. We perform thorough due diligence to mitigate legal risks, draft and review essential corporate documents, and provide ongoing counsel on corporate governance to ensure your business remains compliant and agile. By connecting the abstract laws to concrete action plans, we help you avoid common pitfalls and make informed decisions that take control of your legal journey.
