CEMBY & AVRILINE is strongly committed to serving businesses, investors and financial institutions within the country and abroad by devoting services of high quality and integrity to the interest of clients. We provide general and specialized counseling. At least two lawyers, one of whom is a partner will be responsible to a client. In each case, our lawyers strive to combine expert legal advice with an understanding of the client’s business realities. This is possible through the years of experience we have accumulated in major fields of commercial and business law.

• Banking and Project Finance
• Capital Markets and Securities
• Commercial Litigation (Civil and Bankruptcy)
• Arbitration and Dispute Resolution
• Company Law
• Investments Law (domestic and foreign)
• Employment, Labor and Immigration
• Land and Property
• Merger and Acquisition,

The international practice of billing by the hour is applied in the Firm. Our rates range from USD 50.00 – USD 350.00 per hour (which may be modified over time), depending on the skill, experience and knowledge of the attorneys in charge of the assignment. Compared to other law firms of our size in Indonesia, these rates rank quite favorable. For particular types of work, such as dispute settlements (litigation or arbitration) and capital markets transactions, upon client’s request we may make exceptions.

Our invoices for expenses incurred may be denominated in United Stated Dollars or Indonesian Rupiah. These expenses include, in addition to the legal fees, facsimile, long distance telephone calls, courier service, travel, staff and building overtime and photocopy. Should we anticipate a significant amount of out of pocket expenses, we will request client for advances. Invoices are issued monthly, at the beginning of the month for work which requires a relatively lengthy amount of time to complete or at any time of the month forthwith upon completion of the work for shorter term transactions. Payment matures upon receipt of our bill.

CEMBY & AVRILINE requires all new clients to remit a deposit of USD 3,000.00. We will hold this deposit until the attorney-client business relationship ceases. After proper settlement of all our accounts, the balance (if any) will be refunded.

CEMBY & AVRILINE are also open to client seeking a lawyers-client retainer arrangement for a retainer fee of USD 3,500.00 (excluding any disbursements and taxes) per month, payable in advance for a three month period. The monthly retainer fee shall be for legal services provided for a maximum of 20 effective working hours a month. In the event any work is completed within a period of one month amounting to a total effective working hours in excess of 20 hours, we will charge clients the additional fees based on the additional hours contributed for completing the work.
