About Marccus Partners Mabel & Associates, Attorneys at Law
A whole raft of new laws and regulations has been passed in effort to reinvigorate the Indonesian economy. This has led to some confusion in the corporate sector, particularly in decoding how the different central and regional government regulations actually apply to individual businesses and companies. Awareness has thus arisen in the business community of the need for expert legal advice, whereas in the past many firms felt they could muddle through on their own.
