Legal Due Diligence: Why It Matters Before Any Corporate Transaction
Legal due diligence is the essential first step before any acquisition, merger, or major investment. Here is what every business leader must understand.

Before any significant corporate transaction — whether an acquisition, merger, joint venture, or major investment — legal due diligence is non-negotiable. At AMR, it is one of our core service offerings.

What Legal Due Diligence Covers

A comprehensive legal due diligence by AMR examines:

  1. Company establishment documents — Deed of establishment, articles of association, all amendments, and GMS minutes
  2. Capital and share structure — Funding history, shareholder register, proof of capital participation
  3. Board composition — Validity of Board of Directors and Commissioners, nationality, and any involvement in legal disputes
  4. Operating licenses — Business license, environmental permits, building permits, industrial licenses, and all other required licenses
  5. Assets — Land certificates, buildings, and investments in other companies
  6. Labor compliance — Employment agreements, BPJS compliance, work regulations
  7. Agreements and contracts — All material agreements entered into by the company
  8. Legal disputes — Any pending or threatened litigation, arbitration, or regulatory proceedings

Why It Matters

Legal due diligence reveals hidden liabilities that could significantly affect deal value or transaction structure. It gives buyers and investors the information they need to make informed decisions — and to negotiate appropriate protections in transaction documents.

Contact AMR to discuss your due diligence requirements before your next corporate transaction.
