Frequently asked

Questions, answered

The quick answers most clients want before reaching out. Have something more specific? Ask us directly — the first consultation is free.

What does Nelwan & Co do?

Nelwan & Co is an independent Indonesian full-service law firm based in Jakarta. We serve startups, SMEs, multinational companies, and individuals across corporate, foreign investment, property, intellectual property, employment, dispute resolution, litigation, and criminal defence.

How do online legal consultations work?

Reach us by WhatsApp, Zoom, Google Meet, or email. The first consultation is free. If you decide to engage, we issue a fixed-fee quote, accept secure online payment through multiple methods, and typically deliver within 1–7 working days.

Is the first consultation really free?

Yes. There is no fee for the initial discussion, on any channel, and no obligation to proceed afterwards.

Can Nelwan & Co handle matters or clients outside Jakarta?

Yes. While we're based in Jakarta, we serve clients and handle matters across Indonesia.

Can foreigners and overseas clients hire Nelwan & Co?

Yes. We regularly advise foreign individuals and multinational companies on PT PMA establishment, foreign direct investment, employment of expatriates, real estate, and commercial disputes — all in English.

How much do legal services cost?

Our commitment is to make sure you only use and pay for the legal services you genuinely need and that fit your situation. Most matters are quoted at a fixed fee after the free consultation, so you know the cost before any work starts.

What is the lifetime guarantee?

If a delivered work product ever needs further revisions or fixes, we continue to support you at no additional cost — for as long as you need.

Do you offer a monthly retainer or ongoing legal support?

Yes — and for clients with recurring legal needs, the retainer is a better deal than paying per matter. You lock in a meaningfully lower effective rate than project-based billing, receive priority response, and work with a dedicated partner who learns your business so advice gets faster and sharper over time. A fixed monthly fee covers day-to-day legal assistance: routine questions, contract reviews, document drafting, and standing advisory across the practice areas we handle. Bring us in as often as you need — no per-matter quotes.
