An Indonesian advocate's admission is national — the oath is taken before a High Court (Pengadilan Tinggi), and practice rights extend to courts throughout Indonesia, including Bali.

The distinction

An agency sets up your company. A lawyer protects it.

Most foreign owners come to this practice after an agency, a nominee arrangement, or a licence problem. Three things are worth knowing before you write.

Representation in court

An agency cannot appear before an Indonesian court on your behalf. A licensed advocate can — the same person who advises you can defend you.

Straight answers

If a structure is illegal or unenforceable, you will be told so plainly — before you rely on it.

Fixed, written fees

Retainers and quotes are agreed in an engagement letter before work begins. No surprise billing.

Practice areas

Where foreign businesses in Bali actually get hurt

Six areas cover nearly every matter this practice is asked about.

01

PT PMA compliance & NIB defence

LKPM and investment-realisation reporting; defence when a licence is at risk of revocation.

02

Land, leases & HGB

Lease drafting and disputes, HGB structuring, and what happens when a landowner dies or sells.

03

Nominee risk & restructuring

An honest assessment of nominee exposure, and lawful, enforceable alternatives.

04

Contracts

Commercial, vendor, shareholder and partnership agreements that hold up under Indonesian law.

05

Employment

PKWT contracts, hiring, termination and severance (PHK) done correctly.

06

Disputes & litigation

Partner and shareholder disputes, and representation before the Bali courts.

Retainer plans

One lawyer on call for your business
