SNA Law Firm and DIPA Healthcare Organize a "Legal for Non-Legal" Workshop on the Importance of Legal Knowledge for Employees in Carrying Out Daily Operational Tasks
On Monday, December 16, 2024, Suria Nataadmadja & Associates (SNA Law Firm) held a productive discussion with DIPA Healthcare Group in a workshop titled "Legal for Non-Legal". The purpose of this workshop was to educate employees on the importance of basic legal knowledge that every employee must have in carrying out operational tasks within the company. Through this activity, SNA Law Firm is hoped to equip the DIPA Healthcare employees attending the workshop with a deeper understanding of the role of law in the company's daily operations, as well as how this knowledge can help secure transactions and prevent legal issues in the future.
The discussion began with an introduction from the experienced lawyer team of SNA Law Firm, consisting of Joana Brahmana, S.H., Agnes Winda Tampubolon, S.H., and Vincent Stanly, S.H., who gave a brief overview of their respective legal specialties and relevant experience. The presence of this team was highly appreciated by DIPA Healthcare as they were able to provide fundamental insights into common legal issues faced in the business world and practical solutions that could be applied in the company.
Discussion on the Importance of Legal Knowledge in Company Operations
The presentation by SNA Law Firm emphasized the importance of every employee understanding the legal basics related to their tasks, even if they are not part of the legal department or legal staff. This is crucial because every operational activity of the company (starting from contract creation, business transactions, to communication with third parties) involves potential legal risks that can have serious consequences for the company if not managed properly.
SNA Law Firm provided an in-depth explanation of several legal aspects that are highly relevant to company operations, including Contract Law, Labor Law, and Business Dispute Resolution. SNA Law Firm explained the importance of drafting clear, complete, and legally compliant business contracts to prevent potential disputes in the future. The team also gave an overview of labor law, highlighting the rights and obligations between employees and the company that must be well understood to avoid legal issues related to employment relationships. Furthermore, SNA Law Firm discussed various options available for dispute resolution, including mediation, arbitration, and litigation. Understanding the procedures for dispute resolution is essential so that the company can choose the most efficient and beneficial course of action when facing legal problems.
Building a Legal Culture Within the Company
During the discussion, Mr. Bram, a representative from DIPA Healthcare, expressed strong support for the initiative to build a legal culture within the company. Mr. Bram stated that legal knowledge should not only be the responsibility of the legal department or legal staff, but must be understood by every individual involved in the company’s operations. Additionally, it is hoped that with a good understanding of the law, employees can also help the company evaluate and improve operational activities and internal company policies.
After the presentation and discussion from SNA Law Firm in the workshop, it is expected that all DIPA Healthcare employees will pay more attention to the legal aspects of their work. This way, employees will be more careful and wise in carrying out their daily tasks, which will ultimately bring benefit the company in the long term. As a follow-up step, the company and SNA Law Firm are expected to also organize further legal training and workshops with a larger scale of participants for DIPA Healthcare employees. The purpose of this training is to ensure that the legal knowledge held by employees continues to develop and deepen.
