Real Estate

Leks&Co is a leading law firm in Indonesia with a well-established reputation for excellence in real estate law. We provide end-to-end legal services for a wide array of real estate transactions, developments, and disputes. With deep industry knowledge and a commercial understanding of property-related regulations, we advise both domestic and international clients across all stages of real estate projects—from acquisition and financing to development, operational structuring, and dispute resolution. While we do not handle licensing applications, our services cover nearly every other legal aspect of real estate.

Our practice spans a diverse range of property types, including land and buildings, spatial planning, infrastructure, residential housing and flats, commercial property, industrial estates, environmental-related land use, and construction services. We help clients navigate complex legal frameworks surrounding zoning, land use, and ownership rights with clarity and precision.

In terms of work scope, we routinely assist in legal due diligence of land and property companies, property asset or share acquisitions, property financing, and land procurement. Our firm prepares legal opinions, represents clients in disputes involving land and building ownership, and handles litigation in state administrative courts.

We also resolve disputes involving lease arrangements, construction contracts, and mortgage imposition. Our contract-related services include drafting and reviewing key agreements such as joint ventures, joint operations, build-operate-transfer (BOT) contracts, construction contracts, property sale and purchase agreements, and commercial lease agreements.

Our expertise is supported by our contributions to international publications. Eddy Leks authored the Indonesian chapter of Getting the Deal Through – Real Estate 2016, offering expert insight into the Indonesian real estate legal landscape. Additionally, Leks&Co contributed to Asia Pacific Trusts Law with the article “Arrangements Resembling Trusts under Indonesian Land Law”, showcasing our in-depth engagement in legal scholarship on land ownership structures. Moreover, our Dr. Eddy Marek Leks has written several real estate law books e.g., Real Estate – Getting The Deal Through, Property And Trust Law In indonesia published by Wolters Kluwer and Real Property Jurisprudences, Yurisprudensi Hukum Properti Selama 70 Tahun (1952-2022) published by Citraaditya.

We are proud to have represented high-profile clients in significant real estate transactions. We also acted for PT Bumi Hardana Makmur in conducting comprehensive legal due diligence on shares and land assets in North Sulawesi, and for PT Harmoni Cakrawala Bali in drafting luxury villa sale packages in Bali, managed by a world-renowned hotel operator.

We have provided general legal advisory services to Ciputra Group, one of the leading diversified property developers in Indonesia, including matters related to building management, review and revision of the Articles of Association and ByLaws of Ciputra World, and accompanying its team in meetings with the housing agency of DKI Jakarta concerning PPPSRS governance.

We also advised Sinarmas Land on various aspects of its ordinary business, including multi-stage regulatory analysis on land acquisition, land development, and property management for areas in Bogor and Karawang, as well as legal support throughout the land relinquishment process. In addition, we have been engaged by China Railway Property, a Fortune Global 500 company headquartered in Beijing, in connection with its real estate interests in Indonesia.

With Leks&Co, clients benefit from practical legal guidance, deep sector knowledge, and unwavering attention to commercial and regulatory detail in every real estate matter.
