Conflict Waiver Template for Indonesia

The Conflict Waiver is an essential document in Indonesian legal practice that addresses situations where a law firm identifies an actual or potential conflict of interest in its representation of clients. This document becomes necessary when a law firm wishes to represent a client despite having existing obligations to another client that might create a conflict, or when other circumstances arise that could affect the firm's independent professional judgment. The Conflict Waiver must comply with Indonesian legal requirements, particularly Law No. 18 of 2003 on Advocates and PERADI regulations, and should include comprehensive disclosure of the conflict, potential risks, and proposed safeguards. It serves as a protective mechanism for both the law firm and its clients, ensuring transparency and maintaining professional ethical standards while allowing for continued representation when appropriate.
