In addition, JPN provides legal services in order to save and restore state finances/wealth and to uphold the authority of the government through negotiation, mediation and facilitation.

The President Director of SIG, Donny Arsal, explained that this collaboration aims to increase the effectiveness of handling and resolving legal issues in the civil and state administration fields both inside and outside the court faced by the Company. In line with the condition of the company that continues to develop, the problems that will be faced are increasingly complex and diverse, so the Company takes the initiative to establish good cooperation with the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia.

In addition to the signing of the cooperation, a seminar with the theme "Business Judgment Rules" was also held to increase knowledge and understanding in the field of law for all GIS management and its subsidiaries and affiliates, particularly regarding the application of the Business Judgment Rules doctrine in business activities and company management.

Donny Arsal said that JAMDATUN could provide enlightenment and an overview to GIS regarding the limitations contained in laws, government regulations and other regulations, in relation to the situation when the company made a decision and then the situation after the decision was made became different and caused losses.

"Sometimes the Board of Directors needs to take relatively speculative actions in order to save the survival of the company. However, before making a business decision, the Board of Directors must pay attention to the elements of the Business Judgment Rule contained in the legislation as a basis for consideration (business judgment) in business decisions. Hopefully, this seminar can add insight and enthusiasm to apply the principles of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) in the corporate environment," said Donny Arsal.
