Proven Legal Experience

Real Solutions Across Sectors and Jurisdictions

In our experience, we have consistently strived to provide our clients with the highest level of quality and security. We're here to provide global solutions to clients who typically need multiple local service providers, each with their own set of operational complexities and risks. We keep them in compliance with the country's laws. Keeping that in mind, here are some of our experiences and case studies. Our experience is not limited to business setup for foreigners and non-foreigners; we also have expertise in out-of-court negotiations and court appearances.

 

A&C's professional members have handled these matters for a variety of companies in oil and gas, manufacturing, public relations, banking and insurance, food and beverage, real estate, mining, construction, furniture, and other industries. Because we value confidentiality, we do not list all of our clients here. However, we have extensive experience assisting PMDN and multinational companies with problems ranging from business setup, corporate secretarial, accounting and tax, and even the most complex issues.

Taxation & International Law Taxation & International Law

Case #1

Taxation & International Law

A&C provides advisory and support services to one of the European Embassies in Jakarta on the application of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations in Indonesia and how this interacts with Indonesian tax law. We utilise a combination of analytical methods, systematically collecting all pertinent data before advancing to the subsequent negotiation stage.

 

Case Study:
One of the European embassies, the location of which is currently being kept confidential, is facing tax issues concerning the building it occupies in Indonesia. This has resulted in a communication gap involving several institutions over the implementation of the tax and the 1961 Vienna Convention.

 

Our Approach & Solutions:
We utilize a combination of analytical methods, systematically collecting all relevant data before progressing to the next stage of negotiation. In order to solve the problem, it is first necessary to compare the existing tax laws in Indonesia with the implementation of the 1961 Vienna Convention. It is important to note that settlement cannot rely solely on the prevailing law in Indonesia. This necessitates a specialised approach to ascertain the actual situation.

Business Set Up and License for Foreign Investors Business Set Up and License for Foreign Investors

Case #2

Business Set Up and License for Foreign Investors

A&C assists foreign investors in the fields of property, cybersecurity and mining by offering legal and business-commercial analysis. This improves their understanding of Indonesia's significant social, economic and political dynamics. Furthermore, A&C has facilitated the issuance of RPTKA and KITAS for over 500 foreign workers.

 

Case Study:
A Chinese corporation has an industrial facility in the Cikarang area and requires assistance in processing work visas for its international personnel. To date, the project has encountered delays due to issues with the accuracy of the documentation and the validity of the data, which may require further validation.

 

Our Approach & Solutions:
Here at A&C, we always conduct thorough checks and reviews of every document provided. We always provide straightforward information on the risk of incomplete documentation. Therefore, we always ensure that the documents entered into the system are complete and accurate before proceeding to the next stage.

Rescue and protection for insurance companies in subrogation cases Rescue and protection for insurance companies in subrogation cases

Case #3

Rescue and protection for insurance companies in subrogation cases

In principle, subrogation allows the insurer who has indemnified the insured to sue the third party or parties who caused his insurance interest to suffer a loss event. A&C provided legal assistance to one of the insurance industry players in subrogation issues and managed to rescue a total of assets worth USD 3.4 million.

 

Case Study:
An international insurance company faced a complex subrogation claim against a logistics provider whose negligence resulted in a warehouse fire, causing significant financial losses to the insured party. The legal process was complicated by unclear contractual clauses and the involvement of multiple third parties.


Our Approach & Solutions:
A&C conducted a comprehensive legal analysis of the contractual chain and coordinated with forensic experts to establish liability. We developed a litigation strategy focused on maximizing asset recovery while mitigating reputational risk. Our team negotiated with opposing counsel and successfully resolved part of the claim through mediation, followed by legal enforcement actions for the remainder—ultimately recovering over 80% of the total initial loss value.

Restructuring Restructuring

Case #4

Restructuring

A&C supports one of the most exclusive private clubs in the energy industry in Indonesia on its debt-restructuring through out-of-court dispute settlement. We advise borrowers on corporate debt restructuring, including the preparation and negotiation of restructuring agreements and related documents, as well as insolvency matters.

 

Case Study:
Assisted a prominent private energy club in Indonesia facing financial distress due to market volatility and operational disruptions. The client was under pressure from creditors and required urgent strategic intervention to avoid bankruptcy. We successfully structured a multi-phase debt restructuring plan involving key financial institutions and private investors, allowing the client to stabilize operations and restore credibility with stakeholders.


Our Approach & Solutions:
We began with a comprehensive assessment of the client’s financial health and liabilities. Our team facilitated negotiations with creditors to secure a standstill agreement while preparing restructuring documentation. We drafted and reviewed debt-restructuring contracts, advised on regulatory implications, and ensured compliance with Indonesian insolvency laws. By prioritizing confidentiality and stakeholder alignment, we achieved an amicable resolution outside of court, preserving the client’s business continuity and reputation. 

Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence Legal Corporate Assisting Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence Legal Corporate Assisting

Case #5

Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence Legal Corporate Assisting

A&C recognises the importance of keeping abreast of current global trends and is committed to maintaining its position as a leader in the industry. We are grateful for every advancement in artificial intelligence technology. One of our clients operates within the Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence sectors. We provide comprehensive compliance services, ensuring that they adhere to all relevant Indonesian laws and regulations from the establishment phase through to ongoing business operations. We also ensure that their brand is officially registered both in Indonesia and internationally.

 

Case Study:
A&C advised an emerging tech company specializing in AI-powered cybersecurity solutions. The client sought legal guidance for compliance with Indonesian data protection regulations and international IP registration. As the company expanded operations into Southeast Asia, they also required support in contract structuring and cross-border legal risk assessment.


Our Approach & Solutions:
We began by conducting a legal audit to align the client’s operations with Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDP Law) and other relevant regulatory frameworks. Beyond the initial compliance setup, we established a long-term retainer arrangement to ensure the client consistently keeps up with the fast-evolving legal landscape. Through our retainer service, we provide continuous legal oversight, update internal policies and agreements in line with regulatory changes, and assist with contract reviews, data handling protocols, and brand protection strategies. This ongoing support allows the client to operate securely and confidently, both domestically and internationally, while staying ahead of legal risks in a high-tech industry.
