Review

Dispute resolution

A leading IP firm, K&K Advocates has been a tier one mainstay for complex IP litigation and IP enforcement. It has been steadily building up its general commercial and restructuring and insolvency disputes offering in recent times. For example, the team has acted in various criminal and civil cases pertaining to breach of contract, tort, employment, foreign arbitral award enforcement and bankruptcy. It is currently representing several telecommunication infrastructure companies in antitrust-related hearings before the Indonesia Competition Commission. Managing partner Justisiari Kusumah is a recognised figure for IP litigation and enforcement. He was involved in the development of recent trademark, patent and copyright laws as part of the government’s expert consultation team. Kusumah and partners Wardaya and Aldi Andhika Jusuf are the main contacts for contentious IP matters.

One highlight saw the team acting for a state-owned company in a lawsuit on the grounds of breach of contract against a private company. In another case, the firm represented the country’s largest state-owned telecommunications company in recovering compensation for damages to a subsea communication cable system caused by an international mother vessel in the waters of Batam.
