Legal Auditor

Posted by Irfan Disnizar, SH. on

A legal audit refers to a legal risk assessment and compliance check conducted on enterprises or organizations to determine whether they comply with relevant laws, regulations, rules, contracts, and business ethics, and to identify and address potential legal risks and compliance issues. In Indonesia, legal audits must be conducted by licensed professional legal auditors with the aim of providing advice and support on legal compliance to enterprises or organizations, reducing legal risks, and avoiding legal disputes. The content of legal audits includes but is not limited to enterprise compliance, licenses, assets, labor and employment, cases, debt and credit, and taxation.

Queen Law Firm has licensed professional legal auditors who produce legal audit reports widely used in corporate mergers and acquisitions, IPO audits, large-scale international trade, financial audits, litigation cases, and intellectual property transactions.

Dr. Guan from Queen Law Firm was Interviewed by Johns Hopkins University

Posted by Dr. Guan Yue on

On March 22, 2023, a research team from Johns Hopkins University interviewed Dr. Guan from the Queen Law Firm to discuss the issue of judicial efficiency in Indonesia.

In the interview, Dr. Guan pointed out some problems in the Indonesian judicial system, such as excessive delay in case processing, lack of transparency and predictability, and uneven professional level among judges. These problems have led to low efficiency and unfairness in the judicial process, negatively affecting Indonesia’s business and investment environment.

However, Dr. Guan also mentioned some positive changes. The Indonesian government has begun to take measures to improve judicial efficiency and fairness, such as implementing electronic litigation systems, strengthening training for judges and legal professionals, and establishing a more transparent and predictable judicial system. These measures are expected to promote the improvement of Indonesia’s legal environment and judicial image, enhance business confidence, and attract more foreign investment.

Dr. Guan also stated that although there are still many challenges in the Indonesian judicial system, he remains optimistic about the future and calls on the government, enterprises, and all sectors of society to work together to promote the reform and modernization of the Indonesian judicial system to achieve a more fair and efficient judicial process.

About Operational Costs

Posted by Irfan Disnizar, SH. on

In some cases, there are still many clients who ask whether Advocates who are in Java can hold proceedings outside Java. Because the distance is very far, it raises doubts for Clients who are domiciled from where the Advocate is. We need to explain that according to LAW OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA NUMBER 18 OF 2003 CONCERNING ADVOCATES, Article 5 Paragraph 2 states:

“The Advocate’s work area covers the entire territory of the Republic of Indonesia”

Thus, we can explain that Advocates can hold proceedings anywhere as long as they are still within the territory of the State of Indonesia.

Then, the next question that we usually get is, will there be additional costs for operational costs if there is a case outside the city? In general, there is, depending on the policy of the Advocates themselves. However, with the QUEEN LAW FIRM policy for cases still in the areas of Java Island and Bali Island, we provide Free Operational Costs. So we hope that all Clients from QUEEN LAW FIRM from anywhere can enjoy our services efficiently, cheaply, and quickly in handling cases faced by Clients.
