LEGAL DUE DILIGENCE CHECKLIST

Obstacles to Due Diligence in Indonesia
 No sophisticated public data base
 Reluctance to present full package of documents
 Delays in gathering and presentation of documents (from usually remote
sites)
 Differences: so many interdisciplinary issues (e.g. forestry, transportation,
overlapping, counterfeited documents
 More important than in developed countries – not purely a data room
exercise
 Legal uncertainty – clear title (in licenses, buildings, property)
 Lawsuits: difficult to access
 Representations and warranties may be useless because sellers are often
“big” local person
