We provide comprehensive legal advice for the establishment and operation of banking and non-bank financial institutions. Our services encompass the creation of loan agreements and guarantee documents for financial institutions, both domestic and international. We also extend support to investors in establishing and operating mutual funds and pension programs. Furthermore, we act as advisors to foreign lenders on project financing, syndicated commercial loan transactions, and corporate debt restructuring.

Shipping

The shipping industry possesses unique characteristics, including licenses, agreement types, governing authorities, and specific case scenarios. Therefore, a deep understanding of Indonesia's shipping-related laws and regulations, coupled with practical experience, is imperative. Our legal practitioners excel in conducting due diligence on company licensing within the shipping sector and resolving disputes involving ship owners, cargo owners, and freight forwarders. We adeptly draft transportation agreements and time charter agreements. Additionally, we possess specialized knowledge pertaining to the commercial aspects of the shipping industry.

Our services encompass a range of activities, including but not limited to, negotiating debt settlements, drafting debt restructuring agreements, facilitating peace agreements, as well as creating debt transfer or debt write-off agreements.

Technology

The legal practitioners at Kesuma Partners hold extensive expertise in aiding companies engaged in technology-related business activities within Indonesia. This includes providing essential documents to meet product requirements and facilitate transactions. Among the documents we offer are subscription agreements, product terms and conditions, end-user license agreements (EULA), privacy policies, cookies policies, security policies, data management policies, service liability limits, product license agreements, product maintenance provisions, product trial agreements, sandboxing agreements, product integration agreements, research and development agreements, and service level agreements (SLA).

Access to Dukcapil Rights

In select business sectors, adherence to the Know Your Customer (KYC) process is essential to prevent fraud and criminal activities, particularly in banking and non-bank financial services. One tangible measure to implement KYC is the collection of personal data from customers. In late 2019, the Directorate General of Population and Civil Registry of the Republic of Indonesia introduced regulations enabling institutions and business entities from all sectors to obtain access rights to Indonesian population data, subject to specific requirements. Kesuma Partners' legal practitioners have successfully aided our clients in securing these access rights.

Healthcare Industry

The healthcare sector in Indonesia is experiencing rapid growth, with an expanding array of business activities. This includes the emergence of providers offering hospital management information system applications and health-related services that bolster the development of companies within the healthcare sphere. Our legal practitioners bring valuable expertise in offering legal advice, facilitating licensing procedures, developing applications, and ensuring the protection of sensitive data. Additionally, we have a wealth of experience in conducting comprehensive environmental licensing due diligence for clinics and hospitals across Indonesia.

Insurance

Our seasoned legal practitioners have a wealth of experience in assisting investors in establishing and maintaining compliant insurance businesses in Indonesia. This demands a nuanced understanding of each unique case and adeptness in obtaining the requisite permits. Moreover, we offer comprehensive support for the day-to-day operations of insurance companies, including the provision of agreement templates, the development of operational business schemes, establishment of branches, and litigation assistance in cases involving agents or customers.

Oil & Gas

At Kesuma Partners, our practitioners boast extensive involvement in various oil and gas exploration and exploitation transactions. This encompasses a wide array of agreements including Operational Cooperation Agreements, Production Contracts, Technical Agreements, Land Acquisition, Drilling Rig Agreements, Product and Services Agreements, and many others. We maintain robust relationships with pertinent regulatory bodies and industry operators, ensuring that we stay abreast of any shifts in laws and regulations within the oil and gas sector.

Compliance and Risk Management

We provide meticulous due diligence services concerning company compliance in line with statutory regulations and relevant authority directives. Following this assessment, we furnish a series of recommendations that serve as invaluable references for the company. Additionally, we extend our expertise to analyze the certifications required by clients and assist them in the acquisition process.

Intellectual Property Rights

Recognizing the paramount importance of safeguarding Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in Indonesian business activities, our legal practitioners offer guidance and take decisive actions to protect these rights. This encompasses aiding in the registration of Copyrights, Trademark Rights, Patents, Industrial Designs, spatial layout design, plant variety protection, manufacturing trademark and logo use license agreements, and franchise agreements.

Real Estate

We appreciate the critical significance of unambiguous ownership rights over assets, be they land, buildings, or other forms of property, in conducting business activities. Our legal practitioners have played a pivotal role in providing comprehensive assistance related to real estate, including due diligence on vast hectares of land, rental and property sale and purchase agreements, advising on property ownership schemes for foreign entities in Indonesia, as well as overseeing land and/or building acquisitions.

Election Disputes Resolution

Election disputes encompass conflicts arising between Election Participants, as well as disputes involving Election Organizers, often stemming from decisions issued by the KPU, Provincial KPU, or District/City KPU. Our legal practitioners are adept at handling disputes arising from the election process and contesting election results. In cases of disputes over election outcomes, the Constitutional Court (MK) holds the authority to adjudicate. However, when it comes to disputes regarding the election process, the competent bodies for receiving, examining, and rendering decisions on these matters are the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) and the State Administrative Court (PTUN). Pursuing legal action related to election process disputes at PTUN is pursued after exhausting administrative remedies at Bawaslu.

Company Establishment and Governance

Kesuma Partners has been instrumental in assisting a diverse array of companies in their establishment, acquisition of necessary permits, certification processing, establishment of company branches, creation of subsidiaries, structural changes within the company, annual general shareholder meetings, and extraordinary general meetings of shareholders. Furthermore, we provide essential draft documents such as company founders' agreements, shareholder agreements, share engagement agreements, joint operation agreements, joint venture agreements, and more.

Cyber Crime

Cybercrime encompasses any illicit activity perpetrated by criminals leveraging computer networks and information systems to directly target victims' technological infrastructure. However, in a broader context, cybercrime may also encompass any unlawful act facilitated by computer technology. Our legal practitioners have successfully resolved an array of cybercrime cases, spanning violations under the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (ITE Law) and various other offenses committed through technological means.

Corruption

In cases of corruption, our expert team stands ready to guide you through every stage, from initial assistance with the police and Prosecutor's Office to representation at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) level. We offer comprehensive defense strategies at the Corruption Crime Court, including applications for suspension of detention, exceptions to charges, evidence collection, expert and witness testimonies, submission of defense notes (Pledoi), and other legal efforts, such as appeals, cassation, and Judicial Review (PK) at various Court levels.

Defamation and Misconduct

It is crucial to differentiate between defamation and misconduct, as they are distinct legal concepts. Unfortunately, individuals sometimes overlook the legal distinctions between these two actions. Our legal practitioners bring extensive experience in handling cases involving both defamation and misconduct, representing both the aggrieved party and the alleged perpetrator. The legal distinction between defamation and misconduct plays a pivotal role in determining the severity of potential penalties.

Arbitration and Dispute Resolution

Given the public nature of court case resolution, which may entail the divulgence of confidential information, parties to commercial agreements often opt for arbitration as a means of dispute resolution. Our legal practitioners are well-versed in assisting with dispute resolution through the Arbitration Board in Indonesia. In addition, we offer dispute resolution services outside the courtroom, including negotiation, consolidation, and mediation, yielding mutually beneficial settlement solutions.

Land Disputes and Land Acquisition

Land disputes involve conflicts over land ownership between individuals, legal entities, or institutions, typically without broader socio-political implications. On the other hand, land acquisition refers to the government's compelled revocation of land ownership rights from other parties for the purpose of advancing public interests. Our seasoned Legal Practitioners specialize in handling these cases, prioritizing truth, document validity, and securing favorable outcomes. We provide our clients with the best advice to navigate through these complexities.

Corporate Crimes

Corporate Crimes involve unlawful activities committed by entrepreneurs or employees within a company or multiple companies. This encompasses acts like fraud, abuse of authority, office embezzlement, misuse of facilities, and more, resulting in societal harm. These crimes may range from misleading advertising to environmental pollution and worker exploitation. Our legal practitioners are equipped to handle various corporate criminal cases, ensuring our clients' rights are upheld in accordance with the law.

Minors in the Criminal Justice System

Our practitioners specialize in criminal cases involving minors, encompassing individuals under the age of 18. This classification is determined in accordance with the law, which places a strong emphasis on considering the best interests of the child. In addition to representing juvenile offenders, our legal practitioners also address the needs of victims, many of whom are minors affected by criminal acts, including cases involving sexual abuse and other forms of exploitation.

Homicide

Our legal practitioners have effectively handled a range of murder cases, providing assistance to the police and mounting robust defenses in court. We focus on elucidating the suspect's chronology, considering elements of intent, unintentional actions, or self-defense. These factors significantly influence the judge's verdict in sentencing. We diligently assess the proven intentions, actions, evidence validity, and reliable witness testimonies in securing a fair outcome for our clients.

Embezzlement and Fraud

Our legal practitioners have successfully resolved numerous embezzlement and fraud cases, advocating for both victims and those who have suffered harm. This encompasses reporting to the police, assisting with delegation to the prosecutor's office, participating in trials, and securing final decisions. Additionally, we facilitate mediation for resolution outside of court, pursue restorative justice, and offer assistance at both the police and court levels. Our primary objective is to safeguard the rights of the suspect, discern the allegations, and unveil the truth during trial proceedings.

Money Laundering

With a wealth of experience in money laundering cases, our legal practitioners provide assistance for victims, suspects, and alleged offenders. We offer support at the police level and strong defense in court. Our mission is to defend clients based on their rights, clarify suspicions, and unveil the facts of the trial. In many money laundering cases, entire groups may be involved, yet only one individual is prosecuted. Our role is to ensure the correct parties are identified and represented.

Foreign Worker Authorization

Engaging foreign workers within legal entities in Indonesia represents a tangible manifestation of technology and knowledge transfer, vital for operational efficiency and business expansion. Additionally, the scarcity of local expertise serves as a primary rationale for hiring foreign talent. Our adept legal practitioners possess substantial experience in facilitating foreign worker authorizations and residence permits, including ITAS and ITAP, alongside other pertinent documentation pertaining to the presence of foreign nationals in Indonesia.

Obscenity and Immorality Cases

Our accomplished legal practitioners have effectively resolved an array of obscenity and immorality cases, representing both suspects and suspected offenders. We extend our assistance from the police level to robust defense in court. Our mission is to safeguard our clients' rights, elucidate the allegations, and unveil the underlying facts of the trial. This involves distinguishing whether the client is the defendant or a victim coerced into committing the crime by an external party. Such insights often reveal new legal facets, impacting the judge's decision in determining the verdict or sentence for the client.

Product Certification

Beyond business licensing, attaining relevant certifications is imperative prior to delivering services and/or products to consumers, ensuring the quality of offerings. Our legal practitioners are well-versed in procuring certifications for diverse services and/or products, offering invaluable support in obtaining these endorsements. These certifications encompass ISO 37001, OHSAS, SNI, Marketing Permit, MUI Halal certificate, K3 Expert, SIUPMSE, PSE, BPOM, and POSTEL, among others.

Drafting Comprehensive Transactional Documents

Our extensive experience includes assisting numerous companies in Indonesia by crafting a diverse range of commercial documents crucial for facilitating and bolstering their business operations. These encompass an array of agreements, such as general and specific cooperation agreements, sales and purchase agreements, marketing agreements, distributorship agreements, reseller/retailer agreements, memoranda of understanding, subscription agreements, rental agreements, pawn agreements, fiduciary agreements, licensing agreements, terms and conditions, agent agreements, franchise agreements, and more. We are dedicated to ensuring that our clients have the precise documentation required for their business endeavors.

We represent clients involved in cases of abuse, possession, or sale/production, ensuring legal actions align with Narcotics Law.
