Company Lawyer Surabaya — PT Formation, Governance & Compliance
Integra Law Office provides company legal services in Surabaya — handling PT formation, governance, secretarial matters, and compliance. We help companies in East Java operate with proper legal foundations, from establishment through ongoing governance.
Company law for Surabaya businesses.
Every company operating in Surabaya must comply with the Indonesian Company Law (UU 40/2007), which governs everything from formation to dissolution. The law sets requirements for articles of association, shareholder meetings, director and commissioner duties, and capital maintenance.
Beyond the Company Law, businesses face licensing requirements under OSS RBA (PP 5/2021), sector-specific regulations, and ongoing reporting obligations. Non-compliance can result in penalties, director liability, and in severe cases, company dissolution.
We serve as company counsel to businesses across Surabaya and East Java — from newly formed PTs to established manufacturing and trading companies. Our focus is ensuring that every client's corporate legal foundation is solid and maintained.
When you need a company lawyer.
Establishing a PT (Perseroan Terbatas) and needing complete legal setup — from deed to NIB.
Requiring changes to articles of association — business purpose, capital, domicile, or board changes.
Needing corporate secretarial support — GMS preparation, board resolutions, AHU filings.
Facing compliance issues with OSS RBA or sector-specific permits.
Planning a company dissolution, spin-off, or merger.
Requiring annual corporate health checks to identify and fix compliance gaps.
Company law framework in Indonesia.
UU 40/2007 requires every PT to have articles of association (akta pendirian) approved by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (AHU). Key provisions cover minimum capital, shareholder rights and obligations, GMS procedures (annual and extraordinary), director and commissioner appointments and duties, and corporate record-keeping requirements.
PP 5/2021 introduced risk-based business licensing. Every company must obtain an NIB (Business Identification Number) through OSS and fulfil licensing commitments based on its risk classification. Failure to meet these commitments can result in administrative sanctions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the minimum requirements to establish a PT in Surabaya?
A PT requires at least two founders (individuals or entities), a notarial deed of establishment, AHU approval, a registered address, and issued capital. There is no minimum paid-up capital for most PTs, though certain sectors have specific requirements.
What is the difference between PT and PT PMA?
A PT (Perseroan Terbatas) is a domestic limited liability company with Indonesian or mixed ownership. A PT PMA (Penanaman Modal Asing) is a foreign-invested company. PT PMA requires an investment plan and is subject to the Positive Investment List for foreign ownership limits.
Do I need a corporate secretary?
The Company Law does not mandate a corporate secretary for private PTs, but listed companies and certain regulated entities must appoint one. Even when not required, having professional corporate secretarial support ensures proper governance and compliance.
