Practice Areas

Leks&Co offers a full range of legal services tailored for charitable organizations, foundations, and non-profit entities, helping them operate within a clear, structured, and compliant legal environment. We understand that charitable and philanthropic efforts often face unique legal complexities—ranging from establishment and governance to operational compliance and stakeholder transparency. Our goal is to provide strategic and practical legal solutions that empower charitable organizations to focus on achieving their missions while remaining aligned with applicable Indonesian laws and regulations. 

We assist clients in the establishment of foundations (yayasan) and associations (perkumpulan), including preparing and reviewing the necessary founding documents, organizational structures, and articles of association. We help clients understand their fiduciary duties, ensure lawful management of donated assets, and implement transparent financial reporting practices in accordance with Indonesian regulatory standards.

In addition to formation and compliance, our firm advises on a variety of operational matters, including the drafting and reviewing of partnership agreements, grant agreements, memoranda of understanding (MOUs), employment contracts for staff, and contracts with local or international donors. We also assist in structuring charitable programs—whether domestic or cross-border—ensuring that all activities are consistent with the legal status and objectives of the institution.

We recognize that many non-profit organizations collaborate with international NGOs, governmental bodies, and private sector partners. In this context, we offer legal insights into cross-border donations, restrictions on foreign funding, licensing requirements for foreign charitable operations, and tax implications of charitable contributions. One of our key experiences includes advising Fauna Flora International, the world’s longest-established international conservation organization, on Indonesian legal matters related to their charitable activities in the region. Our engagement reflects our firm’s capability in handling sensitive and mission-driven projects that intersect with conservation, public interest, and international collaboration.

At Leks&Co, we are committed to supporting charitable organizations with integrity, professionalism, and deep legal knowledge. Whether clients seek to establish a foundation, manage charitable programs, or navigate legal risks, we serve as trusted advisors helping them contribute positively to society within a legally sound framework.
