Requirements for drafting

New Agreement (Cooperation, Sales, License, Lease, Separation of Assets)

You'll need identification of all parties involved, a clear description of the terms you want reflected (payment, duration, obligations, exit conditions), and any supporting documentation relevant to the subject of the agreement — for example, property ownership documents for a lease, or IP registration details for a license agreement.

Addendum to Agreement

You'll need the original agreement being amended and a clear description of what's changing.

Document Verification

You'll need the document itself and identification of the parties or authority that issued it.

Document Legalization

You'll need the original document, and — for use abroad — confirmation of which country it's being legalized for, since requirements vary (some countries require apostille, others require embassy legalization).

Contract law in Indonesia is governed by the Indonesian Civil Code (Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Perdata), and agreements involving property, business assets, or long-term commitments generally benefit from notarization to ensure enforceability. MCS Consulting drafts every agreement to comply with current Indonesian contract law.
