INDONESIA Law and Practice Contributed by: Nico Angelo Putra Mooduto, Mahareksha Singh Dillon, Talitha Amanda Ekadhani and Bagas Ananta, SSEK Law Firm
Another major development is the introduction of the new 2025 BANI Rules and Procedures, which mod- ernise arbitration practice in Indonesia. These rules now provide for emergency arbitration procedures, enabling parties to obtain urgent interim relief even before a tribunal is fully constituted, with strict time- lines imposed on appointments and decisions. The updated framework also recognises the complex- ity of contemporary disputes by allowing multiparty
and multicontract arbitration, thereby facilitating the consolidation of interrelated claims within a single proceeding. Additionally, BANI has introduced a new requirement that any party represented by foreign counsel must also appoint Indonesian legal counsel, regardless of the governing law of the contract. This move reflects a policy to ensure local legal integration and consistency in proceedings, while still accommo- dating international participation.
