Our Approach

People hence our clients, as diverse as they are, all have one common feature: they call for professional and reliable advice and support.
Our primary focus: to provide high-quality care to our present and future clients.

  • Considering this, the consultant-client relationship begins with an initial meeting; at this meeting, we will identify the client's situation and needs.
  • Furthermore, we clearly explain what is expected of the client and, in turn, what the client can expect from us.
  • Then, through regular updates and reviews, we strive to manage objectives and anticipate obstacles.

For clients encountering Indonesian law and institutions for the first time, proactive communication is a vital element of knowing what to expect at each stage.

We realize that complex markets, bureaucracy and (unwritten) rules can be puzzling. But navigating that maze is part of our job; guiding our clients through the process is part of our commitment.

  • Our network and the partner's channels into government institutions enables us to cut through red-tape, liaison with the appropriate government officials and efficiently utilize the mazes in the bureaucratic system, meeting all legal necessities.
  • For foreign i.e. non-Indonesian clients, we can help you in identifying the significant aspects of the Indonesian (business) culture.

Consultation at an early stage is highly recommended, in order to comfortably live, work a/o do business in Indonesia.
First and foremost, we aim to help our clients efficiently and effectively by using practical solutions and clear strategies.
