Current developments in Indonesian law, regulation, policy, and significant judicial decisions.
Legal Development
A DRP Law news brief on the Constitutional Court's ruling that advocates' immunity under the Advocate Law depends on good faith, professional ethics, and compliance with the law.
Timely notes on legal and regulatory developments relevant to clients and decision-makers.
Public and Administrative Law
A challenge to a government decision may fail before its merits are considered if the required administrative pathway, deadline, standing, or object of dispute is misunderstood. Early procedural mapping is therefore central to public-law strategy.
2 AUGUST 2026Dispute Resolution
An arbitration clause can determine where, how, and under which rules a commercial dispute is resolved. This brief outlines the core questions Indonesian businesses should assess when choosing arbitration, preserving court support, and managing enforcement risk.
2 AUGUST 2026Corporate Transparency
Indonesia's beneficial-ownership framework requires corporations to identify and report the natural persons who ultimately own or control them. The 2025 verification regime increases the importance of accurate, supported, and current ownership information.
2 AUGUST 2026Administrative Litigation
A public-law dispute requires precision about what government conduct is challenged and why. The strategy should identify the competent authority, legal basis, procedural history, administrative remedies, standing, harm, evidence, and the practical effect of the relief sought.
2 AUGUST 2026Construction
Construction disputes often result from several interacting events rather than a single breach. A persuasive position connects contractual notice, programme impact, instructions, access, design, quantity, productivity, certification, payment, and mitigation to contemporaneous project records.
2 AUGUST 2026Commercial Contracts
Termination can protect a party from continuing harm, but an invalid or poorly documented termination may create counterclaims. The decision should be based on the contract, applicable law, breach evidence, cure process, proportionality, and the commercial consequences of ending performance.
2 AUGUST 2026Investigations and Compliance
Indonesia's national Penal Code, effective from 2 January 2026, expressly addresses corporate criminal responsibility. Organisations should treat authority structures, beneficial ownership, policies, controls, reporting, investigation response, and remediation as connected components of risk management.
2 AUGUST 2026Investigations
Indonesia's new Criminal Procedure Code took effect on 2 January 2026. A corporate response plan should address legal representation, summons and examination, search and seizure, evidence preservation, employee support, communications, internal review, and continuity without obstructing lawful process.
2 AUGUST 2026Corporate Governance
Directors are expected to manage a company in good faith, with care, and for the company's interests and objectives. This brief considers how decision records, conflicts controls, information quality, and delegated authority can reduce governance and dispute exposure.
2 AUGUST 2026Litigation and Technology
Electronic communications and records frequently shape contractual and commercial disputes. Their value depends not only on relevance, but also on lawful acquisition, authenticity, completeness, and a reliable explanation of how the evidence was created and preserved.
2 AUGUST 2026Environment
Environmental approval should be managed throughout a project's life cycle. Changes in activity, capacity, design, technology, location, or impact may require updated analysis, approvals, or commitments before implementation.
2 AUGUST 2026Environmental Enforcement
Environmental enforcement can involve inspections, sample results, complaints, permit conditions, administrative sanctions, civil exposure, and criminal allegations. A response should protect legal rights while addressing genuine operational risk and preventing further harm.
2 AUGUST 2026Financial Services
Financial-service providers should operate an institution-specific anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist-financing programme. Controls should be proportionate to customer, product, delivery, geographic, transaction, and proliferation-financing risks.
2 AUGUST 2026Public Procurement
The 2025 amendment to Indonesia's government procurement framework requires suppliers and institutions to review current procedures, documentation, electronic processes, qualification, contract administration, and dispute-readiness controls.
2 AUGUST 2026Public Procurement
Public procurement disputes may begin during qualification or evaluation and continue into contract performance. The legal strategy should distinguish tender remedies from contractual claims and preserve a reliable record of instructions, performance, notices, certification, and payment.
2 AUGUST 2026Land and Property
Land disputes rarely turn on one certificate or document alone. Strategy should integrate title history, surveys, boundaries, possession, payments, deeds, inheritance or corporate authority, land-office records, spatial use, and the conduct of competing claimants.
2 AUGUST 2026Land Administration
The modern land-administration framework supports electronic records and services while retaining the need for accurate source documents, authorised submissions, boundary certainty, and reconciliation between legal and physical facts.
2 AUGUST 2026Land and Property
A land certificate is a starting point, not the entire due-diligence exercise. A transaction should also test the right holder's authority, land-book data, spatial use, physical control, encumbrances, disputes, access, and the approvals required for the intended activity.
2 AUGUST 2026Competition and M&A
Competition-law analysis should begin during deal planning. Transactions that meet the relevant legal tests may require post-closing notification, while substantive competition concerns can affect structure, diligence, contractual allocation, and integration planning.
2 AUGUST 2026Mining and Natural Resources
The 2025 amendments to Indonesia's mining framework and implementing regulation affect licensing architecture, institutional powers, business planning, and compliance. Mining companies should test legacy rights and current activities against the amended framework.
2 AUGUST 2026Investment and OSS
BKPM Regulation No. 5 of 2025 provides implementing procedures for risk-based licensing and investment facilities through OSS. Companies should treat OSS as a controlled regulatory record and ensure that system data matches their legal and operational position.
2 AUGUST 2026Privacy and Technology
Personal-data compliance is an operating model, not only a privacy notice. Organisations need to know what data they hold, why it is processed, who receives it, how long it is retained, and how incidents and data-subject requests will be handled.
2 AUGUST 2026Mining Operations
The RKAB is both a planning instrument and a compliance control. Mining companies should align operational assumptions, production, sales, contractors, environmental commitments, and financial data with the approved plan and current ESDM requirements.
2 AUGUST 2026Business Licensing
Government Regulation No. 28 of 2025 replaced the previous risk-based licensing regulation and provides the current cross-sector framework. Businesses should verify that their business classification, risk level, licences, standards, and operational evidence remain aligned.
2 AUGUST 2026Corporate Disputes
Shareholder conflict can quickly disrupt management, financing, contracts, reporting, and access to corporate information. Effective strategy separates company interests from personal positions and identifies the decisions, rights, evidence, and urgent risks that require immediate control.
2 AUGUST 2026Tax Disputes
A tax dispute is shaped long before the appeal stage. Audit responses, interviews, reconciliations, contracts, accounting treatment, and supporting documents can define later positions. Early governance is therefore essential.
2 AUGUST 2026Tax Disputes
Tax disputes require early control of facts, accounting records, correspondence, and procedural deadlines. A strong legal position must also reconcile the taxpayer's narrative with returns, ledgers, invoices, contracts, and the authority's audit findings.
