Nurjadin Sumono Mulyadi & Partners
Holistic Approach to Legal Advocacy

Labour law reforms have come into force with the enactment of the ‘Omnibus Law’ that promotes outsourcing and improves the ease of doing business in Indonesia. Even as these amendments offer much-needed benefits, they continue to get a lukewarm response from employees, labour unions, and industry bodies.

Employers outsourcing extensively to attract more foreign investments has increased volatility in the Indonesian labour market. Amid the chaos, companies have been facing legal uncertainties in incorporating new policies and regulations into their current labour agreements and employment contracts.

Nurjadin Sumono Mulyadi & Partners (NSMP) helps companies overcome the uncertainties of Indonesian employment law.

With a multifaceted legal approach, NSMP specializes in advising clients in all aspects of employment law to balance the industrial relations between employee and employer. It includes compliance matters, policy formulation, outsourcing, work permits for expatriates, employment termination, and dispute settlements.

“We are well equipped to advise clients on all legal remedies and formulate effective strategies to advance our clients’ interests,” says Ruben Soeratman, partner at NSMP.

NSMP focuses on two core aspects—labour disputes and advisory services. It negotiates employment contracts and strategizes work arrangements between employers and employees before they reach the dispute phase. The law firm helps clients with cases involving the Indonesian government and before the Labour and Supreme Courts.

NSMP represents clients in corporate and commercial dispute resolution and criminal litigation, covering a broad spectrum of industries, from banking and finance to intellectual property, capital markets, and international trade.

Substantiating its cumulative legal employment expertise is a case where it helped a renowned Indonesian FMCG company in the midst of a disputed collective bargaining agreement. NSMP negotiated with the labour union chairman regarding minimum wage and working conditions. The situation had almost reached the point of a labour strike at the client’s factories, which would have caused severe losses for both sides. NSMP advised the client to ratify the terms negotiated during collective bargaining so that their business operations did not come to a halt. It ended up with an amicable settlement signed before the Ministry of Manpower and the Indonesian government.

NSMP also deftly tackles the major issues underlying labour disputes in Indonesia with regard to outsourcing. Despite opposing consents from employees and labour unions that do not want their core employment to be outsourced, new amendments are being incorporated. As a well-established law firm in Indonesia, NSMP works hand-in-hand with clients to facilitate outsourcing without the risk of violating the new labour law.

Backed by an incredibly experienced team of law practitioners, NSMP, which is GDPR compliant, is nimble in responding to issues pertaining to remuneration, employment termination and workplace allowance, wage structure, and overtime pay requirements. Its practitioners analyze client needs and ensure they comply with labour laws. They adopt a pragmatic approach in providing an ideal legal solution that is non-detrimental to business operations.

Squarely positioned with its legal excellence, NSMP is scripting success after success by providing holistic legal support to a roster of domestic and international clients in pursuit of legal solutions in the realm of Indonesian employment law
