PRACTICE AREA
TRP advises on all manners of structured financing, from simple secured or unsecured bilateral lending,
to multi-lender and complex credit facilities. We handle syndicated, club and bilateral loan documentation,
project finance, property finance, acquisition finance, securitization and structured finance, legal due
diligence reporting, banking documentation, and regulatory and compliance issues.
Indonesia's outstanding growth in the industrial, natural resources, and real estate sectors, coupled with significant government
support for public-private partnerships, means that infrastructure and commercial and residential property development
opportunities abound across the archipelago. We advise public and private entities, and developers, landowners, and contractors, on
all legal aspects of construction, from land acquisition and permitting, to workforce issues.
TRP's lawyers are experienced in all aspects of construction disputes, including bid protests, delay, variation orders, mechanic's
liens and stop notices, and construction defect disputes.
Indonesia's rapid economic growth and dynamic regulatory environment make investing here an enticing, but challenging, opportunity.
Our seasoned transactional specialists will ensure that you achieve the most favorable results, with minimal bureaucratic hassle.
• Foreign Direct Investment
We assist companies with all aspects of establishment of foreign investment (PMA) companies, permanent establishments, subsidiaries,
and joint ventures under the Indonesian FDI regime, including drafting of agreements and company documents, regulatory and environmental
compliance, manpower, and acquisition of land and buildings.
• Mergers and Acquisitions
We represent our clients throughout the phases of a transaction, from negotiation and structuring, to drafting agreements, signing,
and closing, and we provide all supporting services, including legal due diligence, legal opinions, notifications, and regulatory filings.
• Risk Assessment and Mitigation
Indonesia has an evolving regulatory environment, which means companies have to adapt quickly when the government changes the rules of doing
business. We provide a detailed outlook on every angle of your business decision, in order to assess the business and legal risks that might
arise and determine appropriate contingencies.
• Compliance
As the governments of Indonesia and investor's home countries become increasingly aggressive in prosecuting bribery cases, clients need solid
accountability programs to deter acts of corruption and to demonstrate compliance with settlements under the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act,
UK Bribery Act and others. We act as local counsel, defending allegations of corruption examined by the KPK in the corruption courts and liaising
with foreign counsel on enforcement matters.
• Arbitration and Commercial Litigation
No matter how amicable a transaction, it is sometimes necessary to enforce your rights under an agreement. The litigation attorneys of TRP have
extensive experience representing clients in the Indonesian courts and international arbitration forums. Our clients include a wide range of
Indonesian individuals and entities, state owned enterprises, and foreign companies.
From initial filing to Supreme Court review, TRP will be with you, advocating for your rights under the law. We will pursue your interests
tirelessly, while seeking an economical resolution to the dispute.
• Bankruptcy
In Indonesia, bankruptcy can be requested by debtors and creditors alike. It can be an effective and efficient mechanism to reach settlement
with multiple creditors, and it is widely used by banks as a means of recovering unpaid loans.
Our Partners have represented Indonesian individuals and entities, state owned enterprises, and foreign companies in their efforts to reach
settlement using bankruptcy claims.
• Criminal Proceedings
Unfortunately, it is not uncommon in Indonesia to use the criminal law as an approach to resolving commercial disputes and to stir up attention
from the media in an effort to sway public opinion. Our lawyers are licensed to appear before all the courts in Indonesia. We represent individual
and corporate clients in all stages of investigation and trial proceeding, from filing of initial reports, to police examination, evidence
preparation, and court appearances.
• State Administrative Proceedings
Our lawyers have critical experience and expertise in bringing cases before the State Administrative Court to nullify administrative decisions and
defend client interests when government officials act outside the scope of their authority or render erroneous decisions.
Indonesia has one of the toughest pro-labor legal regimes in the world and an active union sector, making labor disputes a common feature of doing
business. Frequent changes in the law, most recently with respect to outsourcing, mean that clients need up to the minute advice and guidance in order
to keep their businesses legally compliant while remaining commercially viable.
Our services include drafting of employment contract and collective labor agreement, development of personnel policies and workplace rules, employment
audits, assistance with termination and severance, and litigation in the Industrial Relations court.
Protection of intellectual property in Indonesia is a major issue, not only because of rampant piracy, but also because of the government's "first to file"
system, which allows parties other than true inventors to register patents and trademarks. First-rate legal advising emerges only from a deep
understanding of markets, technology, and competition, as well as the fundamentals and nuances of Indonesian intellectual property law.
We assist clients with preliminary research, registration of trademarks, patents, and copyrights, licensing and franchising agreements, civil and criminal
enforcement actions, and actions to annul fraudulently filed patents and trademarks.
The Indonesian government actively encourages private sector investment in electricity generation using renewable technologies, including
establishing a fixed feed in tariff for small and medium scale (0-10MW) projects. Partner Louis Ramli has direct experience developing and
operating a renewable energy project and can pass on the benefit of his experience to clients seeking to invest in this sector.
Indonesia's technology and online retailing sectors are booming, but regulation has not caught up with the developments in the economy,
and the government's protectionist policies can make investors wary of diving into the market. We assist clients with all aspects of
entity establishment, foreign investment restrictions, regulatory compliance, public-private partnerships, and commercial advising.
