Structuring Pre-signing review and structuring of a villa lease in Bali
A German investor was preparing to lease a bungalow in Bali under a Memorandum of Understanding and was asked for a 10% downpayment before notarisation. The MoU was reviewed for enforceability, payment risk and missing protections. The transaction was restructured: a trusted intermediary held the downpayment, the parties moved to proper notarisation, and provisions on liability, lease extension, access and asset inventory were added — resulting in a significantly more balanced contractual framework before execution.
Dispute Multi-investor dispute and coordination in Indonesia
Several foreign investors held overlapping contractual positions in real estate and investment projects in Indonesia, with diverging expectations and limited transparency on execution. The situation was structured and clarified across stakeholders, contractual relationships were mapped, and a coordinated communication and negotiation approach was developed — establishing a stronger, more organised position for follow-up steps with local counterparties and authorities.
Advisory Shareholder position and rights in a cross-border corporate context (Singapore)
A foreign professional held a contractual entitlement to equity in a company linked to Singapore. As a corporate transaction approached, formal recognition of the shareholder position and access to information became uncertain. Documentation was reviewed, the shareholder status assessed, and a coherent strategy was developed across negotiation, settlement and procedural options — including ongoing support during proceedings, in coordination with local counsel.
Advisory Business model assessment and investment decision support (Indonesia)
A client planned a large-scale electric-motorcycle rental business in Bali, intended as the basis for investor engagement. A structured assessment covered the business plan, financial model, legal and operational risks, and underlying market assumptions. The analysis indicated an extended payback period and significant regulatory risk; the client decided not to proceed. Subsequent market developments confirmed the identified risks, with comparable models facing significant challenges shortly thereafter.
