Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Our attorneys are available for a free, no-obligation consultation to address your specific situation.

Ask an Attorney
Do I need a lawyer to form a PT (Perseroan Terbatas)?

While not strictly required, a lawyer ensures your articles of association, shareholder agreements, and BKPM filings are structured correctly from day one — preventing costly restructuring later.

What is the difference between a PT and a PT PMA?

A PT is a domestic Indonesian company. A PT PMA (Penanaman Modal Asing) is the mandatory structure for foreign investors, subject to the Negative Investment List (DNI) and BKPM approval.

How long does an M&A transaction typically take?

Smaller transactions can close in 3–6 months. Complex, cross-border deals involving regulatory approvals typically take 9–18 months from signing to completion.

What compliance obligations does my company have after formation?

Indonesian companies must maintain annual general meetings, file financial reports, renew business licenses, and comply with applicable sector-specific regulations from OJK, BI, or BKPM.

Can Heck Spector represent both parties in a transaction?

No. We represent one party per transaction to avoid conflicts of interest and ensure our advice is fully aligned with your interests.
