Jakarta, June 2026 – Leks&Co, a leading Indonesian law firm renowned for its expertise in Contract, Construction, Real Estate, and Environment (CCRE) since 2009, is proud to announce its continued contribution to the Indonesia chapter of the prestigious international publication, Global Arbitration Review (GAR) Know-How: Construction Arbitration 2026. This marks the firm’s third consecutive year (2024–2026) serving as the exclusive jurisdictional contributor for Indonesia, reflecting its sustained commitment to advancing legal knowledge and thought leadership in construction arbitration and dispute resolution.
The Indonesia chapter was co-authored by three of Leks&Co’s distinguished practitioners: Dr. Eddy M. Leks, Managing Partner, together with Fitri Nabilla Aulia and Ardelia Ignatius. Drawing upon their extensive experience in construction, infrastructure, commercial arbitration, and dispute resolution, the authors provide an in-depth analysis of Indonesia’s legal framework governing construction arbitration, while also addressing practical considerations faced by domestic and international stakeholders operating in the country.
Building upon previous editions, the 2026 chapter has been comprehensively updated to reflect recent legal developments, evolving market practices, and emerging trends in Indonesia’s construction dispute landscape. Presented in an accessible Question-and-Answer (Q&A) format, the guide offers practical insights for cross-border investors, developers, contractors, project owners, consultants, and legal practitioners navigating complex construction disputes in Indonesia. It serves as a valuable reference for understanding both the legal framework and the practical realities of resolving disputes arising from construction and infrastructure projects.
“We are honored to contribute to the GAR Know-How: Construction Arbitration series for the third consecutive year. As Indonesia’s construction and infrastructure sectors continue to evolve, it is increasingly important for businesses and legal practitioners to have access to practical, reliable, and up-to-date guidance on dispute resolution. We hope this publication will serve as a valuable resource for both domestic and international stakeholders navigating Indonesia’s legal landscape,” said Dr. Eddy M. Leks, Managing Partner of Leks&Co.
Among the notable developments highlighted in this year’s edition are the growing utilization of Dispute Boards, particularly within FIDIC-based contracts, as a proactive mechanism to prevent disputes from escalating into formal proceedings. The chapter also explores the increasing integration of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms, including mediation and adjudication, alongside arbitration as effective tools for resolving construction disputes. In addition, it examines the recognition and enforcement of international arbitral awards under Indonesian law, demonstrating Indonesia’s continuing efforts to align its arbitration regime with internationally recognized standards and best practices.
