At KALIMANG + PONTO, we focus on two primary areas of legal practice: dispute resolution and select corporate and advisory services. Our litigation work is at the heart of the firms reputation, while our corporate advisory matters are handled selectively by partners with sectoral and regulatory experience.
DISPUTE
RESOLUTION
We have longstanding experience handling complex legal conflicts before Indonesian courts, arbitral panels, and regulatory bodies. Our work spans civil and commercial litigation, shareholder disputes, white-collar investigations, bankruptcy proceedings, administrative appeals, and international arbitration. We represent clients in matters that require legal precision, discretion, and a strong grasp of procedural law. From private individuals to family-owned businesses and corporate clients, our dispute team is known for its clarity, professionalism, and ability to manage high-stakes litigation.
SERVICE AREAS INCLUDE:
Civil & Commercial
Transactions
We represent clients in complex civil disputes involving breaches of contract, negligence, commercial disagreements, and other business-related claims. Our litigation lawyers have significant courtroom experience, developing carefully planned litigation strategies, managing evidence, and presenting persuasive legal arguments in Indonesian courts at all levels.
Bankruptcy &
Restructuring
Our bankruptcy practice covers representing debtors, creditors, and investors in insolvency proceedings (pailit), suspension of debt payments (PKPU), debt restructuring, and asset recovery. Our lawyers frequently interact with curators, insolvency administrators, and the courts, advocating strongly to protect our clients’ financial and legal interests throughout the restructuring process.
Shareholder &
Company Disputes
Internal corporate conflicts—such as disputes over shareholder rights, breaches of fiduciary duties, control of the company, or governance irregularities—can significantly disrupt business operations. We handle these sensitive issues by providing strategic advice, negotiating settlements, or vigorously representing clients in court when amicable resolutions fail.
White-Collar & Regulatory
Criminal Defense
Our firm is highly experienced in handling complex white-collar criminal cases, including allegations of corruption, fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, and violations of regulatory compliance. We understand the gravity of criminal investigations and prosecutions, and carefully guide our clients at every stage, from preliminary investigations through trial and appeal.
Administrative &
Regulatory Disputes
Navigating administrative and regulatory disputes often involves challenging government actions, licensing decisions, sanctions, or compliance matters. Our lawyers actively represent clients before administrative courts and regulatory authorities, employing meticulous legal strategies aimed at achieving practical solutions, regulatory clarity, or judicial relief.
Arbitration
(Domestic & International)
Our arbitration practice includes representing clients in proceedings administered by respected arbitration institutions, including BANI (Indonesia), SIAC (Singapore), ICC (Paris), and UNCITRAL. We skillfully handle arbitration proceedings, from initial filings through hearings and enforcement, ensuring the process is conducted efficiently, effectively, and confidentially.
Enforcement of
Foreign Judgments
We assist clients with the critical step of enforcing foreign arbitral awards and court judgments in Indonesia. Our lawyers are adept at handling recognition procedures, overcoming procedural barriers, and navigating the complexities of the Indonesian judicial enforcement landscape.
Mediation &
Settlement Support
Recognizing that prolonged litigation can be costly and commercially damaging, we frequently assist clients with structured mediation and negotiation processes. Our dispute resolution team strives to secure fair, effective, and timely settlements that protect our clients’ legal and commercial interests.
