License & Certification
1. Bankruptcy (Trustee in Bankruptcy) & Board Member at PKPU (Administrator) from AKPI (Association of Indonesian Trustee in Bankruptcy & Administrator), appointed through the Ministry of Law & Human Rights.
This is an official license to be appointed as the Bankruptcy Lawyer & Administrator at PKPU (suspension of debt payment obligations).
With this license, the Curator & Administrator are entitled to handle bankrupt estates & manage the assets of the debtor when the Bankruptcy/PKPU application is granted.
If a company is declared bankrupt or under PKPU, the Lawyer can represent creditors to register their claims. With a license as a Bankruptcy Lawyer & Administrator in PKPU, the client will benefit from information, explanations & strategies to settle their claims.
There are 2 (two) additional functions that can be obtained as a licensed Bankruptcy Lawyer & Administrator in PKPU, which is appointed by AKPI as:
● Curator in the bankruptcy proceedings of a company that will be liquidated, or
● Administrator in the PKPU of a company undergoing debt restructuring.
With a combination of mastery of the intricacies of bankruptcy, the process of winning cases involving bad debts & business disputes becomes even greater.
2. Certified Legal Auditor from ASAHI (Association of Indonesian Legal Auditors)
Legal experts, Advocates & Lawyers are often asked for Legal Opinions (LO). However, Advocates & Lawyers have no uniform standard for an LO.
As a Legal Auditor, in principle, the Lawyer conducts a legal audit or legal review or Legal Due Diligence (LDD) by referring to the Special Job Competency Standards for the Legal Auditor Profession, which are:
1. Reviewing & identifying the purpose of the legal audit assignment.
2. Planning the legal audit.
3. Requesting confirmation of the legal audit plan.
4. Collecting data & information.
5. Analyzing the collected data & information.
6. Preparing a legal audit report.
7. Delivering the legal audit report.
In the future, companies that want to be legally audited will require the services of a Certified Legal Auditor, whose results are recognized & become a standard in Legal Audit (similar to PSAK, Financial Accounting Standards which are identified in the auditing profession, thus the Special Job Competency Standards for the Legal Auditor Profession are recognized in the Legal Audit profession).
Companies that intend to engage in a merger or acquisition need to conduct a legal review/audit to ascertain the legal standing of the asset targets & the target companies that will be merged or acquired. The legal review will enable the company to mitigate risks & potentially renegotiate commercial terms based on the outcome of the legal due diligence, resulting in benefits for the client.
Advocates & Lawyers with "x-ray vision" abilities are needed to unveil & fully comprehend the inner side of the company (the good & the bad). Additionally, the attorney must possess exceptional commercial & legal analytical skills to serve the client's best interests.
Membership
Being a member of a reputable legal organization is crucial for having a broad reach in the legal world of Indonesia. Stephan Hutagaol's membership in such an organization includes:
1. AKPI Board (Association of Indonesian Curators & Administrators)
As an AKPI administrator, it is easier to access information related to bankruptcy/PKPU proceedings & to locate creditors who have claims against the same debtor. Furthermore, being a part of AKPI facilitates the asset-selling process & debt settlement.
2. Member of PERADI (Indonesian Advocates Association)
PERADI is an organization that houses Advocates & facilitates discussions among them. Through PERADI, communication among Advocates & Lawyers can be better received & fostered.
3. Member of AAI (Indonesian Advocates Association)
Many Advocates & Lawyers are members of AAI, one of the predecessor organizations that established PERADI.
Being part of AAI establishes a broader network in the circle of Advocates, enabling easier communication among Advocates & Lawyers. This facilitates the negotiation process & achieving the goals of clients.
4. The First Member of WILL (Worldwide Independent Lawyers League) from Indonesia
Stephan actively participates in the monthly WILL Asia Pacific meetings with lawyers from countries such as Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, India, Pakistan, Australia & Dubai.
Through WILL, Stephan has handled Affidavits of Indonesian Law for heirs who need to transfer rights to WNI (Indonesian citizen) assets overseas. He has also assisted in a joint venture between a Singaporean & Malaysian client doing business & partnering with companies in Indonesia.
