“When the Deal Is Agreed, the Documents Still Have to Make It Work”

Jennifer is the firm’s Notary Partner and a Public Notary and Land Conveyancer in Jakarta, Indonesia.

When the Transaction Also Needs a Notary

Some matters do not end when the contract is signed.

A foreign investment may still need a PMA company, corporate deed, shareholder or management change, OSS update or other filing. A property transaction may still need the right land documentation and registration. A corporate restructuring may still need the agreed commercial position reflected correctly in the company’s formal records.

Jennifer handles that implementation as the firm’s Notary Partner.

This is particularly useful where the legal advice and the notarial work need to stay aligned. The commercial structure agreed with the client can be carried through into the deeds, corporate records, approvals and filings required in Indonesia, rather than being treated as a separate exercise.

For the client, that means a matter can move more naturally from:

advice → transaction documents → notarial deed → corporate or land implementation

with the same commercial objective kept in view throughout.

Jennifer’s role is straightforward:

when the transaction needs a Notaris or PPAT to make the agreed structure effective in Indonesia, she takes it through that stage.

Foreign Investment & PMA

Where a client is establishing or changing an Indonesian foreign-owned company, Jennifer handles the notarial and corporate implementation of PMA structures, company establishments, investments, shareholder changes, management changes and other corporate actions. 

Her work also covers business-sector eligibility, OSS and licensing requirements, investment restrictions and the corporate documents needed to put the agreed structure into effect. 

For the client, the question is not merely:

“Can we establish a company in Indonesia?”

It is:

“Can this company actually conduct the business we intend to conduct once it is established?”

Corporate Transactions & Changes

Jennifer prepares and formalises deeds for investments, corporate transactions, company establishments and amendments, shareholder changes, management changes and other corporate actions. 

The focus is on making sure the agreed deal can be carried through into the notarial deed, corporate records, government filings and licensing position.

For the client: signing is not the end of the transaction. The corporate records still need to reflect what was agreed.

OSS, Licensing & Corporate Records

Jennifer also handles the notarial and corporate implementation of matters involving OSS and business licensing. 

This becomes important when a company changes its business activities, shareholders, management, capital or corporate structure.

A mismatch between the deed, corporate records and licensing position can surface later during a banking process, tender, financing, investment, licence update or another transaction.

The aim is to identify and correct that mismatch before it becomes the reason the business cannot proceed.

Land & Property

As a Land Conveyancer (PPAT), Jennifer handles land and property transactions and the related documentation and registration. 

For corporate and foreign-investor matters, the practical question is:

Can the proposed ownership or usage structure actually be implemented under the available Indonesian land rights?

That question matters before significant money is committed, not afterwards.
