    Asian Legal Business is proud to present the 7th edition of ALB Indonesia Law Awards. Due to extraordinary circumstances happening this year, ALB is putting together a unique platform by which it will still be able to fulfill its long-standing commitment to pay tribute to Indonesia’s finest and brightest legal minds. On 8 October 2020, a virtual awards ceremony will be enjoyed by finalists and special guests at the comfort of their own homes.

    Meanwhile, have we ever thought about how Indonesia’s legal industry leaders manage challenges in order to deliver and even exceed stakeholder’s expectations? They may have experienced the unprecedented impact of the global health crisis, but on a brighter scale, there may still be significant developments and seemingly trivial accomplishments at work but are essentially huge success worthy of celebration.


    Let's get to know the finalists, their milestones and big wins in the year 2020.

    Is there a fee required to make a submission in the law awards?

    TIMELINE OF EVENTS

    When will the finalists and winners be announced?

    The shortlist of finalists will be released around 4-8 weeks prior to the awards ceremony. The winners will be exclusively announced at the virtual awards ceremony on 8 October 2020.

    NOMINATION PROCESS AND ASSESSMENT 

    How are the finalists chosen?

    Asian Legal Business will compile all of the submission entries, and the ALB editorial and research teams will extensively review each submission to ensure the criteria are met in order to advance to the shortlist of finalists. We stress that this process is fair, impartial and not subject to external influences. 

    How are the winners chosen? 

    Once the shortlist of finalists have been announced, an independent judging panel will review and select their top three choices for the award categories they are assigned to. The scores for each award category will be tabulated, and the individual/firm/team with the highest score will be announced as the winner. 

    What are the award categories that I can take part in?

    Any law firms, in-house teams or individuals may take part in multiple award categories if appropriate. The researchers reserve the right to move entries from one category to another if they feel it appropriate. The researchers’ decisions are final and no correspondence will be entered into. 

    Who will be on the judging panel for ALB Indonesia Law Awards? 

    There will be an independent judging panel of at least 25 senior and expert legal industry leaders to review the submission materials. The judging panel will be selected on the basis of their expertise and knowledge, and will be comprised from various sectors to correspond to the diverse list of award categories. A partial list of judges’ names will be released prior to the awarding ceremony, and the remaining judges will be revealed on the evening of the awards. 

    What will my contact information/my client’s information be used for?

    All contact information provided will not be disclosed to external parties; and will only be seen by our ALB research team and the judges panel. We keep the information on record internally, in case we need to contact you or your client regarding any questions or discrepancies in the submission form. 

    Where will my name/firm name/team name be published if we are a finalist or winner?
