Can Sheila Thomas Law Office help an international company enter or operate in Indonesia?

Yes. We help international businesses work out how to enter, sell, contract, move data, appoint partners and operate in Indonesia without discovering major legal or commercial blockers after time and money have already been committed. Our work covers market entry, technology and commercial contracts, data privacy, distribution and local operating arrangements.

Can you advise on AI and agentic AI deployment and contracts?

Yes. We advise on AI and Agentic AI systems that can do more than generate output, including systems that can access environments, make decisions and carry out actions. We help define what the AI may do, where human approval is needed, how data may be used, who carries responsibility and how those positions should appear in customer and supplier contracts.

Can you advise on SaaS, cloud and enterprise technology contracts?

Yes. We advise technology providers and enterprise customers on SaaS, cloud, licensing, procurement and other enterprise technology agreements. We focus on the terms that determine whether the deal still makes commercial sense after signing, including payment, service commitments, liability, data use, customer remedies and termination.

Can you advise on data privacy and cross-border data transfers?

Yes. We advise on Indonesia’s PDP Law, Singapore’s PDPA, the EU GDPR and California’s CCPA, including cross-border data transfers, privacy notices, DPAs and ROPA. The aim is practical: make sure the legal position matches how the product and data flow actually work, and avoid leaving the business responsible for processing or incidents outside its control.

Can you advise on distribution, reseller and OEM arrangements?

Yes. We structure and negotiate distribution, reseller and OEM arrangements for technology services and tangible products. We deal with the points that usually become expensive later, payment, targets, performance, exclusivity, responsibility, termination and exit, while the parties still have room to shape the deal.

Can you advise on strategic funding and commercial loans?

Yes. We advise on strategic funding, business loans and related security arrangements, including domestic and cross-border structures. We focus not only on getting the money out, but on repayment, security, default and downside protection, because getting the money back matters just as much as making the deal.
