Running a business especially in Indonesia is very challenging. Because it not only needs business skill but also sensitivity to comply with law and regulations related to corporations which are changing dynamically. Issues related to corporation and legal are called as Corporate Legal Matters.

Further, Corporate Legal Matters are a set of obligations that should be fulfilled by a company including its shareholders, Board of Directors and Board of Commissioners. Basically, things related to Corporate Legal Matters are regulated by Law No. 40 of 2007 concerning

FEE STRUCTURES

A. HOURLY FEE SYSTEM

This is the most common method by which our office charges fees to clients. Under this system we charge clients for the actual time spent by our lawyers that are assigned to the case. Currently the hourly charges of our lawyers are:

 TITLE
RATE
 Partner  Ranging From IDR 3,000,000/Hour
 Associate   Ranging From IDR 2,000,000 to IDR 2,500,000/Hour

 

By this method, we will charge clients monthly in arrear (except that for new clients, we normally require a deposit, the amount of which would depend on the case).

 

B. PROJECT FEE SYSTEM

This system would be beneficial to the client for transactions that are normally standard and can be readily quantifiable. In this system we would quote a lump sum fee (IDR 100,000,000 – 1,000,000,000) for the whole project with details of the scope of works covered. Any work beyond the scope of work or time beyond a capped limit would be charged separately. In order to set on appropriate lump sum fee, we would firstly have to know the scope of work required by the client.

 

C. RETAINER FEE SYSTEM

In this system the client pays  us  a  fixed  retainer  monthly/annually,  which will allow the client to utilize our services up to a pre-set time limit during the retainer period. Any time beyond the set limit will be charged additionally based on the applicable hourly fees of the lawyers handling the case (however with a pre-agreed discount). This system will provide the client with  substantial  savings  if we  are  utilized effectively.

More details for of the retainer arrangement will be set  forth  in  the  retainer agreement.

Please note that all the fee systems above require the client to pay out-of- pocket expenses (e.g. traveling, long distance calls, photocopies, faxes, etc.).

We believe our experience and expertise in this area of law will support  each client’s objectives of achieving the best possible outcome, whether it be precautionary of any business interruption or seeking first step of remedies for avoiding litigation case.
