Due diligence for East Java transactions.
Legal due diligence is the foundation of every sound transaction — whether you are acquiring a company, investing in a business, or conducting a periodic compliance review. In Surabaya, due diligence requires understanding not just the law, but how local regulations are applied and enforced.
East Java companies face specific compliance challenges: manufacturing permits from multiple agencies, environmental compliance requirements, employment law obligations, and sector-specific licensing that varies by industry. A thorough due diligence identifies these issues before they become liabilities.
We conduct legal due diligence for clients across East Java — from pre-acquisition legal audits to compliance health checks. Our reports are clear, prioritised, and actionable — not just lists of findings, but assessments of risk and recommendations for resolution.
When you need legal due diligence.
Acquiring a company or business unit and needing a comprehensive legal audit before closing.
Investing in an Indonesian company and requiring investor due diligence — corporate, contracts, and compliance.
Conducting a periodic compliance review of your own company's legal standing.
Preparing for a sale and needing vendor due diligence to identify issues before buyer scrutiny.
Entering a joint venture and needing to understand your partner's legal position.
Requiring a focused review of specific areas — permits, contracts, employment, or litigation.
Due diligence scope under Indonesian law.
Legal due diligence in Indonesia typically covers: corporate structure and governance, permits and licensing (OSS/BKPM), material contracts, employment and labour compliance, litigation and disputes, real estate and land rights, intellectual property, tax compliance, and environmental permits.
Key regulatory sources include: Company Law (UU 40/2007), Investment Law (UU 25/2007), Manpower Law (UU 13/2003), Environmental Law (UU 32/2009), and sector-specific regulations. Each area has its own compliance requirements that must be verified independently.

How Integra conducts due diligence.
We use a structured approach: scoping, data collection, verification, analysis, and reporting. Each due diligence is tailored to the transaction — we focus on the areas that matter most for the deal, while ensuring nothing material is overlooked.
Our reports categorise findings by severity (critical, significant, moderate, low) and provide specific recommendations for each issue. We present findings in clear language that enables decision-makers to assess risk and negotiate appropriate protections.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does legal due diligence take?
A full legal due diligence typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on the target's complexity and document availability. Focused reviews can be completed in 1-2 weeks. We provide interim findings within the first week so clients can begin assessing deal-breakers early.
What documents are needed for due diligence?
Key documents include: articles of association and amendments, business licenses and permits, material contracts, employment agreements, litigation files, land certificates, tax returns, and financial statements. We provide a comprehensive data request list at the outset.
Can due diligence be done remotely?
Partially. Document review and analysis can be done remotely. However, certain verifications — such as checking land certificates at the Land Office, verifying court records, or inspecting physical assets — require on-the-ground presence. We handle both remote and on-site work.
