In resolving civil disputes, Farida Law Office has extensive collective experience in achieving the most satisfactory outcomes, whether through mediation or litigation. Our lawyers are skilled at representing both defendants and claimants, ensuring a tailored strategy that is focused entirely on our client’s interests. Civil disputes in Indonesia encompass a wide range of legal conflicts, from contractual disagreements and property claims to tort and inheritance matters, for both individuals and businesses. The Indonesian legal system encourages dispute resolution through various means, with a strong emphasis on finding an amicable solution before proceeding to court.

Navigating a civil dispute in Indonesia presents several key challenges for the parties involved. Common issues include:

• Mandatory Mediation: Under Indonesian law, parties are required to attempt mediation before a civil case can proceed to a formal trial. While this can lead to an amicable resolution, a lack of expertise can make the process ineffective.

• Complex Procedural Rules: The formal litigation process in the civil courts is governed by strict procedural laws, and any misstep can lead to a case being dismissed.

• Enforcement of Judgments: Even after obtaining a favorable court verdict, the enforcement of that judgment can be a difficult and lengthy process.

• Risk of Escalation: Without a clear strategy, a simple dispute can quickly escalate into a costly and time-consuming court battle.

Our approach to civil disputes is firmly based on the foundational laws and procedures of Indonesia's civil justice system:

• The Code of Civil Procedure (HIR/RBG): This is the main law that regulates the process and procedures for all civil cases in Indonesia, from the filing of a lawsuit to the execution of a verdict.

• Law No. 30 of 1999 on Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution: This law provides the legal basis for out-of-court dispute resolution, including arbitration, mediation, and conciliation.

• Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2016 on Mediation: This regulation makes mediation a mandatory first step for most civil cases filed in the general courts, requiring a formal mediation session before the trial can begin.

We apply our expertise by developing a tailored strategy that prioritizes the most efficient and satisfactory outcome for our clients. We begin by assessing whether your case is a good candidate for mediation, leveraging the mandatory mediation process (PERMA No. 1 of 2016) to pursue a swift and amicable settlement. If litigation is necessary, our lawyers provide expert representation throughout the trial, meticulously preparing all legal arguments and evidence in compliance with the Code of Civil Procedure. We don't just represent you in court; we also guide you through the complexities of enforcing the final judgment. By focusing on both out-of-court and in-court strategies, we ensure that your interests are protected at every stage.

In the world of civil disputes, a strategic and tailored legal approach is the key to a satisfactory resolution. Farida Law Office combines a deep understanding of Indonesia's legal framework with a pragmatic, client-focused strategy.
