Bankruptcy, Insolvency & Restructuring

Corporate restructuring activities in Indonesia are primarily governed by company law, banking law, and industry-specific regulations. Nonetheless, the Bankruptcy Law is the primary legal framework for insolvency/bankruptcy-related restructuring, and the increasing number of PKPU/bankruptcy cases calls for regulatory reform of the Bankruptcy Law.

ADCO Law grasps the complexities of our client’s industries and brings a cross-disciplinary team to help. Our diverse team of lawyers represents secured and unsecured creditors, committees, directors, and other stakeholders in bankruptcy/insolvency proceedings and reorganizations. Side by side, we also work collaboratively with clients to tackle complex legal challenges and identify the best opportunities for business continuity.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
