Jordan Legal's licensed Indonesian advocates serve clients in Labuan Bajo and West Manggarai — owners and investors in land, villas, hotels and tourism businesses, Indonesian and foreign — in English and Indonesian. We work from Bali; meetings in Labuan Bajo are by appointment, otherwise by video call.

Which court handles a case in Labuan Bajo
- PN Labuan Bajo — West Manggarai (Manggarai Barat), including Labuan Bajo and the Komodo area.
Which court is competent depends on the parties, the property and the contract — an arbitration clause, for example, can take a dispute out of the courts altogether. That is checked in the first review.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Labuan Bajo?
No. We serve Labuan Bajo from Bali. Meetings there are by appointment, and most work is done by video call and email.
Can a Bali-based advocate act in the Labuan Bajo court?
Yes. An Indonesian advocate's admission is national — the oath is taken before a High Court and practice rights extend to courts throughout Indonesia, including PN Labuan Bajo.
I want to invest in a villa or tourism business in Labuan Bajo. What should I check first?
The same national rules that apply in Bali: which right a foreigner or a PT PMA can hold, whether the business activity is open to foreign investment, and a check of the title and the seller before any deposit. A due-diligence review applies them to your deal.
