Indonesia is the largest economy in Southeast Asia. With a strong domestic market and abundant natural resources, Indonesia’s growth outlook is robust and sustainable.

While Indonesia welcomes foreign investment in many sectors, investors must be aware of the often complex regulatory regime, cultural and political subtleties and business environment. These factors must be fully understood and carefully navigated when doing business locally.

We have established close working relationships with local law firms and working together, we provide a seamless and integrated solution to our clients, covering the various aspects of both international and domestic laws. We also support our clients’ investment strategies into the US, UK, Europe and the Middle East with the support of our offices across 30 locations globally.

Thoughts for When the Lights Come Back On

As we all scramble to adapt to ever changing business conditions brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, one industry which has been overwhelmingly impacted is the hotel industry.  Worldwide, hotels have been forced to close as part of mandated “lockdown” situations.  Business travel and tourism has been extinguished.  The few hotels which remain open have found themselves with no customers left to perform for and global hotel occupancy is now running in single digits.  Dealing with the daily challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic is itself enough but it is also time to start thinking about how to address those legal and commercial issues which are relevant for when the lights come back on for the hotel sector.  We set out below some initial thoughts, which every hotel owner and operator no doubt can supplement with their own unique circumstances.
