Corporate Matters: The Full Lifecycle of Your Business

From pre-incorporation structuring to complex transactions and regulatory compliance, we accompany Indonesian companies at every stage of their corporate journey with the precision, depth, and strategic clarity that high-stakes decisions demand.

Our service covers:
I. Pre-Incorporation & Founder Advisory

BEFORE THE ENTITY, THE TERMS

The agreements founders make before a company is formally established often carry more weight than any document drafted thereafter. We advise co-founders, investors, and joint venture partners at the formative stage — surfacing risks and structuring rights before they become costly obstacles.

  • Founder & Co-Founder Agreements

Equity allocation, vesting schedules, IP assignment, and exit provisions structured from the outset.

  • Joint Venture Structuring

MOUs, term sheets, and preliminary agreements defining the commercial and governance framework of JV arrangements.

  • Investment Structure Advisory

PMA and PMDN entity analysis, holding structure design, and foreign ownership compliance under Indonesian investment regulations.

  • Pre-Incorporation Legal Opinion

Sector-specific licensing requirements, minimum capital thresholds, and regulatory feasibility assessment prior to entity establishment.

 
II. Incorporation & Entity Establishment
THE LEGAL FOUNDATION YOUR BUSINESS STANDS ON
 
Incorporation is more than filing paperwork. The governance structure embedded in your Articles of Association, the composition of your initial corporate organs, and the accuracy of your registration data will determine the compliance burden your company carries for years. We execute this process with precision.
 
  • PT Establishment (PMDN & PMA)

Full incorporation of domestic and foreign investment limited liability companies, managed from drafting through Ministerial approval.

  • Articles of Association Drafting

Tailored governance documents that reflect actual ownership structures and business objectives not standard boilerplate.

  • Notarial Deed & SABH Coordination

End-to-end notarial process management, including Kemenkumham submission and approval via the SABH system.

  • OSS & NIB Registration

Business identification number registration and initial licensing classification through the Online Single Submission system.

 
III. General Corporate Advisory
ONGOING LEGAL PARTNERSHIP, NOT JUST TRANSACTIONAL SUPPORT
 
Most legal risk does not arrive announced. It accumulates through contracts never reviewed, resolutions never documented, and decisions made without counsel. For companies that understand this, we serve as an embedded legal partner across the full scope of their corporate affairs  including through dedicated retainer arrangements.
 
  • Contract Drafting & Review

Commercial, vendor, service, confidentiality, and employment agreements drafted or reviewed for enforceability and commercial clarity.

  • Shareholders Agreements

Governance rights, profit-sharing mechanics, deadlock provisions, and exit clauses structured for long-term operational clarity.

  • Legal Opinions

Written legal analysis on operational and strategic matters, prepared for board reliance, regulatory use, or presentation to counterparties.

  • Retainer Legal Counsel

A structured engagement model for companies requiring consistent, responsive legal support without the overhead of a full in-house function.

 
IV. Regulatory Compliance & Licensing
YOUR LICENSE TO OPERATE, MAINTAINED PROACTIVELY

 

Indonesian regulatory requirements are layered, sector-specific, and subject to continuous change. Non-compliance  whether in licensing, investment reporting, or corporate data maintenance carries consequences rarely proportionate to the cost of prevention. We manage this exposure before it becomes a liability.

  • Articles of Association Amendments

Capital changes, purpose clause revisions, and structural amendments processed through the Kemenkumham SABH system within statutory deadlines.

  • Company Data Amendments

Formal processing of name changes, domicile updates, and Director or Commissioner appointment changes through relevant regulatory channels.

  • BKPM/LKPM Investment Reporting

Periodic investment activity reporting obligations for PMA companies, managed on an ongoing compliance basis.

  • Corporate Legal Audit & Due Diligence

Systematic end-to-end review of legal documentation and regulatory standing  designed to identify latent risk before it becomes liability.

 
V. Corporate Actions & Transactions
WHEN THE STAKES ARE HIGHEST, PRECISION IS NON-NEGOTIABLE

 

Corporate actions compress months of legal risk into a single transaction window. Whether the mandate involves capital restructuring, a change of control, or a shareholder exit, our role is to ensure every procedural requirement is satisfied, every document is defensible, and every party’s position is protected.

  • General Meetings of Shareholders (AGMS & EGMS)

End-to-end facilitation including agenda preparation, notarial deed coordination, and SABH reporting within the mandatory 30-day window.

  • Capital Actions

Capital increases, reductions, and new share issuances structured in compliance with Indonesian Company Law and the company’s Articles of Association.

  • Mergers, Acquisitions & Consolidations

Transaction structuring, Legal Due Diligence coordination, and full documentation for domestic M&A and corporate consolidation exercises.

  • Divestment, Restructuring & Dissolution

Shareholder exit mechanisms, debt-to-equity conversions, corporate spin-offs, and voluntary dissolution proceedings under the Indonesian Company Law framework.
