corporate law

Legal research plays a very important role for lawyers because it forms the basis for providing professional, accurate, and responsible legal services.

Pro Bono Law is a term that refers to the provision of free legal services by lawyers or law firms to people who need them but cannot afford to pay for legal services.

In the capital market environment, several terms are frequently used yet often misunderstood. Two of the most common—Initial Public Offering (IPO) and issuer—are closely related but carry very different meanings and legal implications. For companies considering raising funds through the Indonesian capital market, understanding these terms is an essential first step before moving into more complex corporate actions. This article explains what an IPO is, what an issuer is, how the two are connected, and why understanding the legal aspects matters for companies planning to enter the public market.

Legal Due Diligence (LDD) is one of the crucial stages that a company must undertake before conducting an Initial Public Offering (IPO). Through this process, all legal aspects of the company—such as corporate legality, licensing, asset ownership, contracts, and potential disputes—are thoroughly examined to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The implementation of LDD helps the company identify and address potential legal risks that may hinder the go-public process. In addition to serving as the basis for preparing a legal opinion for regulators, the results of LDD also enhance transparency and investor confidence, while reflecting the company’s readiness to become a credible and legally compliant issuer in the capital market.
