A
key service area of the Corporate Services
department is the establishment of
German investment companies and their
representative offices. A highlight in this regard is
the significant rise for assessments in investment
opportunities as well as the multitude of cross-border
corporate, commercial, labour and employment
inquiries.
Indeed, in 2016, following the departure of Ms.
Silke Helmholz, the former Head of Corporate Services,
and the instatement of Ms. Cassandra Stephanie Paulira
as the new Head of Corporate Services, a majority of
the services rendered by the department have been
administrative.
Nevertheless, the division has successfully continued
its support in regards to the area of corporate law. These
include services endowed for various corporate changes
and reviews of numerous agreements. In addition, therewas
a significant increase in the volume of enquiries regarding
dispute resolution, intellectual property, employment law
matters and import licenses, be they general or special
import licenses. Our clients appreciated the qualitatively
good support as well as the positive cost-benefit-ratio.
In addition to these general services, EKONIDCorporate
Services department has successfully carried through
the Chamber’s Law & Taxes Network program into its
second year. The Network “Law & Taxes” is a cooperation
between EKONID, law firms, audit and tax advisors from
Indonesia and Germany that specializes in certain fields of
law and taxes. EKONID’s Network “Law & Taxes” ensures
that requests that require legal or taxation knowledge are
answered and supported by specialists with a high quality
of professional expertise, service, responsibility and
experience. As of December 2016, the Newsletter “Law &
Taxes” has reached its 6
th
edition, covering a wide breadth
of legal and tax issues, and has reached over 3,000 printed
copies in its distribution.
The department was also significantly involved in
internal structural issues such as EKONID’s 46
th
Annual
Members Meeting and the perusal of EKONID’s multiple
institutional and economic cooperation from a legal point
of view which were implemented throughout the year.
