About

Provided by SSEK Law Firm

SSEK advises domestic and international clients on all aspects of Indonesian competition law, helping businesses navigate the country's evolving antitrust regime and comply with the requirements of Indonesia's Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU).

Our competition team regularly advises clients on merger control and post-closing notification requirements, working closely with our corporate and M&A lawyers to assess filing obligations, prepare notifications, and engage with the KPPU throughout the review process. We also counsel clients on competition law issues arising in mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and other strategic transactions.

Beyond merger control, SSEK advises on the competition law implications of commercial arrangements, including distribution, agency, licensing, franchising, exclusive dealing, resale pricing, and other vertical and horizontal agreements. We assist clients in assessing antitrust risks, developing compliance strategies, and reviewing business practices to ensure compliance with Indonesian competition law.

SSEK’s lawyers also represent clients in KPPU investigations and proceedings, advise on abuse of dominance, cartel and bid-rigging issues, unfair business practices, and competition aspects of regulatory compliance. By combining deep knowledge of Indonesia's regulatory environment with practical commercial advice, we help clients achieve their business objectives while effectively managing competition law risks.
