One of Indonesia’s leading corporate and commercial law firm, located in Jakarta Selatan, Bagus Enrico & Partners’ foundation was laid in 2009 under the able leadership of Bagus Nur Buwono, Founder & Managing Partner. Bagus steers the strategy of the organisation with his  25 years of advisory excellence, spanning multinationals and domestic transactions.  He specializes in mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance, construction, strategic investment, and general corporate or commercial matters, including corporate restructuring, insolvency, and employment, across various sectors of industries throughout Indonesia.

Bagus is highly admired for his business knowledge and legal expertise in recognition of his years of continued excellent work and expertise. He has won the trust, respect and many accolades for his significant contributions. The Guide to Asia’s Commercial Law Firm has acknowledged him as a recommended lawyer in the practice areas of corporate, M&A, employment, and restructuring and insolvency; AsiaLaw – Euromoney Asia recognised him as a leading lawyer in the areas of banking and finance, and corporate, M&A and as the expert in commercial law; and Asia Business Law Journal has been awarding him as one of Indonesia’s 100 Top Lawyers since 2018-2021.

In academics, Bagus graduated from the Faculty of Law at Gadjah Mada University in Indonesia in 1996. Subsequently, he received the Chevening Scholarship to undertake the International Business Law (LLM) from the University of Manchester, the UK in 2005. He also attended a Mini – MBA programme held by Mizuho Corporate Bank in cooperation with Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo, in 2009.

BE Partners, “Boutique Practice Focusing on Client Service”

Bagus Enrico & Partners is a boutique law firm that caters to domestic and international clients alike. They are made up of a collection of prominent individuals duly recognized for their expertise and professional experiences in handling various notable transactions in Indonesia. Their practice covers areas including corporate and commercial law, banking and finance, technology media and telecommunications, insurance, energy, and natural resources, construction, and litigation among others.

BE Partners’ clientele mostly consists of corporate clients, both local and multinational. They always strive to go beyond just the legality of things and consult their clients in a variety of aspects; they help their clients develop and grow their business long term, catering the services to what is relevant and tailoring it to their needs.

The Inspiration & The Journey

Bagus was inspired by this film he saw back in the day about a wrongfully convicted inmate who went on to study law remotely from prison and ended up defending himself until he was rightfully exonerated.

He believes that everyone should have access to proper legal representation, and in turn, make informed decisions on how to proceed with whatever issue they may face. He initially wanted to become a litigator and to defend the weak and marginalized, but considering the political and social climate at the time and how uncertain the justice system was, it was impossible to go very far in terms of practicing within that area of law in an imperfect democracy. So, he decided to switch gear and do corporate law instead but still with the aim of fighting for his clients and providing the best possible solution for them, just from a different perspective. It is to ensure that these corporations will provide more job opportunities for Indonesians.

Bagus worked as an in-house counsel and intended to keep doing so, but at one point in his career, he sat down and had a think about whether he wanted to stay in this corporate system where everything was set and they all did their own tasks or if he wanted to go out and start his own firm – the latter option struck a nerve and that was what sparked the beginning of BE Partners.

He wanted to start a firm with the right idealism and purpose, to create a working environment that puts clients first, and be a safe space for young talent to develop. Teaching is a very pivotal aspect for him as a lawyer so apart from mentoring the lawyers at the firm, Bagus also lectures at universities and teaches company law so as to share knowledge on current issues along with the legal theories behind it for a more practical approach in applying their knowledge as lawyers.

“It was never my intention to become an influential figure, I’m not actively involved in any sort of association or group. I do, however, focus on growing the firm and delivering the best advice and service we can offer. It is very humbling to know that it has resulted in recognition and appreciation within the legal community”, said Bagus talking his journey of becoming an influential leader in law.

An Edge Over the Peers & The Exciting Part about Legal Industry

Bagus always approaches his clients’ problems from a business perspective. He puts himself in their shoes and tries to solve their problems in a way that mitigates risk and promotes efficiency. The leader believes that lawyers should pave the way for their clients to move forward, not hinder their path to growth and expansion. He and his team walk hand in hand with their clients and go beyond just legal services.

“I solve problems for a living, which can seem to be quite a mundane job for some people. For me, it’s the excitement in taking charge and finding creative and out-of-the-box solutions for my client’s legal issues. Having to think of all the angles and challenging the way we think is very stimulating and fulfilling”, apprised Bagus.

From the Founder’s Desk

Back when I first started working as a lawyer, because a lot of information was only privy to a select few, it became a valuable commodity that people were looking for. However, now it is very easy to get any and all information with the help of the internet nowadays; all the rules, regulations, and even cases and legal forums are inline and accessible to anyone. The challenge is to improve the critical and analytical skills to get only the most relevant information and to underline the upcoming and potential legal and business risks.

So, the skill highlighted in this new age of lawyers is how to think critically and analyse the relevant information. Connecting the dots from the legal issue at hand, what the law says, how we want to move forward, the implications of said action, and how we present it to the client is what sets us apart.

New and more diverse specialties are also on the rise given the number of emerging industries that have started popping up on a global scale such as e-commerce, blockchains, and cryptocurrencies which did not exist when I first started my career.

Bagus’s Advice to Aspiring Entrepreneurs

Just go for it, give it all you’ve got and let it fall into place. Regardless of how much control you think you have; things will always take their course. Prepare as best you can, plan as best you can, but don’t be so stuck in your ways that you’re not able to redirect and take the necessary steps to move forward.

Closing Quote

All big dreams require steps; it’s a process that requires time and effort. Rome was but once a dream, built brick by brick over a long period of time. Consistency and determination are the foundation. Make sure to start, everyone has big dreams but only some follow through and actually do it. Failure is never a reason to quit, there is always a lesson in it that we take and keep in mind moving forward.

Striving for excellence since its inception, the G+P Law Firm is a legal advisory firm dedicated to offering personalized legal advice and strong litigation services to its clients. Spearheaded by highly qualified, experienced, and dynamic professionals, Ioannis Giannakakis & John Psomas, G+P Law Firm adds great value to various corporate giants and people around the world. The unique approach followed by the firm has been a key factor driving success for the brand.

Ioannis Giannakakis, the Group General Counsel & Chief Compliance Officer of Avramar Seafood Group, can be best described as a go-getter, philanthropist, and visionary who is an entrepreneur par excellence. She is armed with 30 years of extensive experience. Her experience and expertise have landed her in an influential position.

Becoming an Influential Leader

The professional journey of Ioannis Giannakakis started 30 years ago when she qualified in Greece and became a member of the Athens Bar Association. During these years she has worked both as corporate counsel in regulated matrix organizations, usually global companies like Unilever Novartis, G4S, NN but also as a freelance consultant and litigator, especially in civil, administrative, and criminal cases. Her consistent goal was to focus on the clients’ needs, deliver pragmatic and sound legal advice but also keep a hands-on follow-up approach until the task has been completed. His litigation experience has proved valuable in his later corporate experience. This journey led Ioannis Giannakakis through more than 6 industries (insurance, real estate, FMCG, Pharmaceuticals, Security & Investigations, Agriculture & Food Manufacturing), however, a critical distinguisher from other colleagues has been his deep dive and accumulated expertise in the field of Data Protection Cybersecurity and disruptive technologies, which clearly differentiates from other “one-sided” corporate counsels focusing only on their corporate role and career.

A Glimpse of G+P Law Firm

The G+P Law Firm was established in 2018 by John Psomas and Ioannis Giannakakis with the vision to be a legal partner of choice for their clientele. Their boutique Law Firm has absolute specialization in Digital Transformation, Data Protection, Cybersecurity, and Disrupting Technologies, being one of a handful of law firms in Greece with accumulated experience and expertise in the aforementioned subjects.

The firm serves corporate clientele, spanning from very large to very small and medium-sized businesses in Greece and the EU. The team prefer to nurture strong relationships with their clients favouring long collaborations Their consistent client-centric philosophy combined with their pragmatic and business-oriented advice led to a multitude of international awards e.g Data Protection Law Firm of the Year 2021 in Greece by Corporate INTL Magazine, Boutique Law Firm of the Year in Greece, by Advisory Excellence, and many others

The Inspiration

Ioannis Giannakakis has always valued social and private justice as a key balancing factor of all controversies embedded in modern life full of inequality and differences. Her passion for justice led her to study law and become a lawyer but his later acquired passion for Privacy – as a key personal right and value- harshly attacked by multiple factors – search engines, social media, etc- led her to create the G+ P Law Firm with a clear vision the enhancement and protection of privacy of their clients.

While discussing the interesting part about working in legal industry, Ioannis shared, “The fact that every day is different from the other, the sense of accomplishment when a deal is closed but foremost the sense of serving the provision of justice in all aspects of social and economic life”.

Indicative Challenges for the Current Legal Market

The digital transformation of the modern business world, the consequences of the pandemic driving to new business environments ( with telework and employees isolation being catalysts ) the adaptability the constant learning and adjustment of the legal professional, the transformation from lawyer to business legal partner are some indicative challenges for the current legal market.

Edge Over the Peers

When asked the unique factors about G+P Law Firm, Ioannis Giannakakis shared, “The passion with which I pursue my goals, the consistent vision guiding my practice, the combination of vast corporate practice in a variety of industries, which is rather rare for most corporate counsels usually serving for long periods in the same clients combined with my attraction becoming a passion for Privacy, Data Protection and new Technologies that led me to deep dive at the age of 45 in a whole new world and become one of the leading and most acknowledged and awarded Data Protection Counsels in Greece and amongst the 200 top Privacy Professionals in the European Union.”

Difficulties of Young Lawyers in Entrepreneurship

Young lawyers face a variety of challenges. Some key challenges being digital work, use of technology in everyday business life, global mentality in the sense of being a “ universal” legal business partner instead of a local lawyer are some indicative challenges in my opinion.

The Significance of Technology Infusion in Legal

With proper technical education of the modern legal professional living in a world where legal AI started becoming a usual feature in many large legal firms. The use of legal technologies, digital tools, and platforms are part of the date-to-date legal practice and legal professionals need not only be accustomed but actively utilizing the aforementioned tools to improve their practice.

Accomplished Milestones

A series of litigation victories in Ioannis Giannakakis’s early 30s ( 200.000.000 ML drachmas fine annulment when I was with NN, ) the successful closing of a game-changer acquisition of EVGA ICE Cream by Unilever, the smooth transition of GSK Oncology Portfolio to Novartis, the successful design and execution of G4S GDPR Compliance Program are some career milestones of which she is proud of.

Value justice is the ultimate mission of all legal professionals irrespective of age, experience, or status.

Closing Quote

Quote by Albert Einstein, “Try not to become a person of success but rather try to become a person of value.”

In 1992, Deep & Far Attorneys-at-law embarked its incorporation with a focus on and specialization in all aspects of intellectual property rights (IPRs) under the guidance of C. F. Tsai,  who is the first patent practitioner in his country who both has technological and law backgrounds and is qualified as a local attorney-at-law.

A thought leader with 39 amazing years of experience, Mr Tsai handled diversified disputes over intellectual property laws. He has extensively been involved in works related to mechanical, electric, electronic, civil engineering, chemical, semiconductor, and medical fields since his involvement in intellectual property in 1982.  This expertise enabled him to successfully lead the firm and provide an excellent range of legal solutions.

In academics,  Mr Tsai had his marine engineering background and majored in National Chiao Tung University.  He finished his law degree from National Taiwan University and then passed the bar examination having a pass rate of about 5% on average.

In securing his master’s degree in comparative laws from Soo Chow University, Mr Tsai had the opportunity of perceiving, interlinking and integrating interdependency, interaction, and macroscopic strategy in various aspects of laws. He is admitted to practice before the ROC Supreme Court, the Administrative Court, the Taiwan High Court, IP Court, and various district courts.  Certainly, he is admitted to practice before the ROC Intellectual Property Office. He is a member of ROC, Taipei, Kaoshiung, and Hsinchu Bar Associations, APAA, AIPLA, AIPPI, and INTA.

Even with years of experience and extensive knowledge, Mr Tsai still strives for himself to keep pace with all relevant knowledge and practices relating to intellectual property laws and this is what makes him one of the most influential leaders in the industry.

More about the Firm

Deep & Far Attorneys-at-Law is one of the largest law firms in Taiwan. It is a full-service law firm with a focus on all aspects of intellectual property rights (IPRs). Its IPR work includes patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, unfair competition, and/or licensing, counseling, litigation, and/or transactions thereof. The firm is highly regarded and is often one of the main sources from which foreign filing orders originate.

Managed by the highly qualified, experienced, and dynamic leader, Deep & Far Attorneys-at-law strategically supports corporates and individuals around the world in disputes related to IP through competence and efforts.

“We provide competent IP services for clients across the world. We are not just claiming provisions of the most valuable and competent IP services”, apprised Mr Tsai.

“Because we found that other firms’ services may not be imaginarily satisfactory, or cannot provide wonderful services for the clients, we decided to establish the firm”, he further added.

Edge over the Peers

Deep & Far’s philosophy is to provide competent legal services that other firms cannot comparably provide. And, the edge comes from providing the most competent services. Taking the patent as an example, the claim is the core of patent protection. Because everyone tends to boast how wonderful he is or would be, this film feels like taking challenges to show their extraordinary competence by receiving from the client, e.g.:

• A pending or granted patent specification for comments about how it can improve the claims.
• A patent specification without the claims for the firm to draft the claims for the client’s comparison with the original claims.
• With the firm the client is currently using at the same time, an initial disclosure based on which the team and the currently used firm can respectively prepare their claims so that the client can compare and find out which firm can provide the better claims.

Clientele

The clientele includes Armani, Baidu, Beckhoff, BYD, CICC, Chep, Cypress, Dr. Reddy, Gleason, Grenzebach, Haribo, H & M, Infineon, Intercept, InterDigital, Lenovo, Lupin, Motorola, MPS, NovaLED, Oppo, Piramal, Schott Glas, SeeReal, Sun Pharma, Teva, Torrent, Toyo Ink.  Long term relationships come from win-win considerations all the time made possible by competence and price competitiveness.

F. Tsai’s Take on

• Today’s legal market: Competition is very rigorous nowadays because the number of firms drastically increases.
• Dealing with Challenges: Try hard to become experienced, focussed and known to factors leading to success
• Infusion of technology: Some new technology will enhance the performance of services and should be introduced into the working facilities.
• Achievements: Fame may not straightforwardly come from competence but may brew therefrom if there are no or very few complaints from any client all over the world.
• Success: The satisfying look of the clients we saw is the biggest prize we win after they receive our services.
• The Secret of Becoming an Influential Leader: The base or secret for surviving in the market or becoming influential is perseverance, toughness, and courage.
• Future Plans: Because all firms may have a difficult time, we have no intention to expand unless we find a service that can be provided only by this firm.
• Favourite Books: Ancient books like the Bible, Kuran… which were authored thousands of years ago.
• Nature of advisory services: We have 60% patent services, 20% trademark services, and 20% general law services.

Words of Wisdom

Try all efforts to stay with the virtues of perseverance, toughness, and courage related to cognition of quality services at all difficult opportunities because one’s fate means what s/he deserves through adhering to such virtues.

Success may not come very soon, but the virtues of perseverance, toughness, and courage may hasten the budding of success.

If you dare wait for success through virtues, success is a shadow you cannot get rid of.

Headquartered in Ontario, Canada, a Private Investigation Agency, Axis Vero Incorporated offers an extensive array of investigative services and security consulting to a broad spectrum of clients worldwide under the competent leadership of Axis Geffen. Designated as the President and Founder of Axis Vero, Axis Geffen is an investigations specialist with extensive experience in Investigations, Undercover Operations, Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM), and Digital Forensic Matters. His experience encompasses all aspects of the investigative industry, and he is a commissioned author as well.

More about the Firm

Incepted in the year 2015, Axis Vero provides only the best investigators who are carefully vetted, hands-on specialists with real-life experience and proven track records within their respective area(s) of practice.

Apart from the head office in Brampton, Ontario, Canada and they are currently opening branch offices throughout Canada to service the demand of their government and corporate contracts. The firm offers almost any investigative service you can think of from research to surveillance to fraud and criminal investigations, and are also industry leaders in TSCM “Bug Sweeping” and Digital Forensics (imaging, analysis. investigation, and data recovery).

Axis Vero serves mostly lawyers or law firms, but they also have a broad base of corporate and government clients. There is no set demographic for who they help. Striving to build long-term relationships with their clients, they are not a product to be bought, but a resource to hold close. Axis Vero is equally committed (if not more so) to resolving their client’s matters quickly, accurately, and as cost-effectively as possible.

The Inspiration behind the Public Initiation

Mr. Geffen was at one time contracted by several firms at the same time. He opened his doors to the public due to a push from one of those former customers that became greedy and wanted to make his services exclusive. Faced with an ultimatum that would have left numerous firms without options, Mr. Geffen agreed to open his firm. If not for that push and the immediate need to survive, he states “I would never would have made the leap”. After opening to the public, Mr. Geffen realized the positive impact that his firm has made on not only his employees’ lives but the overall file quality and influence on his clients’ lives. That has kept him motivated.

What Fascinates Mr. Geffen in the Legal Field?

The visionary loves the interactions with the lawyers and clients that contact him. It has always surprised him how little most lawyers know about what qualified investigators can offer them to build, fix or defend a case they’re working on. He sees this most in the Family Law sector but it applies to every form of law. As lawyers begin to learn what his firm can offer and more importantly how different his firm is to deal with than competing firms, relationships (and many friendships) grow and “it truly feels like you’re helping your friend solve a problem. That’s rewarding.”

What Gives Axis Vero an Edge over your Peers?

Axis Geffen and his entire team care about each case they take in. While it’s important to make money, that is not the primary motivator for this firm. As such, they make a legitimate difference in the lives of those they assist and that tends to be remembered and rewarded in the long run.

Hurdles on the Way

“Although we are investigators, the challenges we face are very similar to those we see in young lawyers or paralegals. When you come in the door you want to be the best on day one, but there is no script to achieve this and it depends on your own attitude as well as who you meet along the way as to whether or not you learn anything at all on the trip. I think the biggest hurdle (certainly for investigators) is finding someone that is invested in making you better at what you do. In many cases, people are happy to keep you where you are rather than risk you succeeding beyond them”, asserted Axis Geffen.

From the Founder’s Desk

I started writing Security Site Post Orders for Burns International Security Services at the age of 14. My mom was a Security Site Supervisor for the company at that time but lacked English writing skills and so I helped her. At the age of 18, the company surprised me with my first Security Guard Licence and gave me a Security Guard job. I remained a Guard for several years learning about the security industry, client care, and the importance of solid documentation.

After a few years, I was hired as a subcontractor by a Private Investigation Agency and very quickly became popular in the field because of my superior documentation skills, attention to detail, and client support. I worked for a few investigation agencies this way. In 2015, one of the PI firms that I worked for gave me an ultimatum, I could either open my own firm and continue to service all of my clients, including his company, or I could become an exclusive employee to his company and stop working for the other security and investigation companies in our industry.

“This was a difficult choice to make because the agency that issued the ultimatum was my best customer at the time; however, becoming exclusive would mean that nearly a dozen other agencies would have to drop TSCM services from their offering to the public. I agreed to open my own firm and the day that I did, the agency that forced the ultimatum terminated my contract stating that I was now a competitor to them. Luckily, the remainder of my client base appreciated that I did not sell them out and work began to come in almost right away. Over the years I’ve trained hundreds of security officers and private investigators and in turn, I’ve learned tremendous skill sets from some of the best investigators in the industry.” In the present day, Axis Vero employs dozens of competent private investigators and Mr. Geffen imparts that knowledge to them. “Collectively, we’ve built this firm into the Best Investigative Support Firm – Canada Wide (as we’ve been recognized for the last three (3) consecutive years and our clients include government agencies, law enforcement bodies, charitable organizations, law firms (around the world), everyday people, and yes, many of those same (and some new) competing firms from around the world.”

Milestones & Achievements

Axis Vero has won a lot of awards but it’s rare that Mr. Geffen displays them or ever accepts a physical award, to begin with. The greatest achievement for him is watching demand for his firm grow. “Every new client that calls feels great. Every existing client that calls in again makes me excited. Now, opening our firm across the country has me elated. It speaks to the quality of our work, the dedication of our employees and the need for our presence in markets that we previously only serviced from a distance”, advised Mr.Axis Geffen.
