The current dispute between Freeport and the Indonesian government has attracted wide public attention. The mass media, including Kompas.com, a leading Indonesian news portal, have published several articles on this issue. Dentons HPRP partner and head of the Litigation practice group Sartono, was quoted as an expert source in those articles.

As previously reported, Freeport stated that they will bring the case to the international arbitration tribunal. Sartono provided his opinion on whether arbitration is the best option, how the dispute could be referred to the arbitration tribunal, and the difference between an arbitration tribunal and a civil court. He also took the Newmont case as an example which could be viewed as an example.

The articles were published by the news portal on February 21, and also published by Kontan.co.id, another leading news portal in Indonesia on February 24.

It is one of Dentons HPRP’s objectives for clients to avoid litigation, arbitration, or bankruptcy, but once it becomes inevitable, the Litigation team can assist and represent clients with all necessary legal support.
