Ade Bungsu Setiarini (“Ade”) is a Partner at A&CO Law Office and a cornerstone of the firm’s Intellectual Property and Dispute Resolution practice, with a particular emphasis on contentious matters, complex litigation, and high-stakes commercial disputes. She is a highly experienced Indonesian advocate and a licensed Intellectual Property Consultant, combining deep technical expertise with formidable litigation execution.

With more than 20 years of legal practice in Indonesia, Ade is a member of PERADI and is widely recognized for her courtroom strength, disciplined case management, and ability to navigate multifaceted legal, factual, and strategic issues under pressure. She is also a licensed PKPU Administrator (Pengurus PKPU) and Bankruptcy Trustee (Kurator Kepailitan), appointed by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia. This qualification significantly enhances her capability to advise clients on enforcement, recovery strategies, and dispute-driven restructuring matters where litigation, insolvency, and creditor rights intersect.

At A&CO, Ade has handled and led numerous trademark cancellation and invalidation proceedings before the Indonesian Commercial Court (Pengadilan Niaga), representing and defending well-known local and international brands in high-value and reputationally sensitive cases. She is deeply involved in formulating litigation strategy, drafting persuasive pleadings and submissions, structuring and managing evidence, and coordinating closely with clients throughout every stage of the dispute lifecycle.

In addition to her intellectual property litigation practice, Ade also serves as a certified Data Protection Officer (DPO) and is an active member of Indonesia’s professional personal data protection associations. In an era of rapid digitalization, cloud computing, and cross-border data flows, personal data protection has become a critical legal and business priority. Ade’s expertise in data protection and privacy law enables her to advise clients on regulatory compliance, data governance, incident response, and data-related disputes, particularly under Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP) and evolving regulatory standards.

Ade’s ability to integrate intellectual property enforcement, insolvency and recovery expertise, and data protection compliance allows her to deliver a holistic dispute strategy—addressing not only legal liability, but also operational risk, financial exposure, and reputational impact. This multi-disciplinary strength makes her a trusted adviser in disputes involving technology, brand value, and financially distressed counterparties.

Clients and international partners consistently value Ade for her exceptional drafting skills, meticulous attention to detail, and calm, solution-oriented approach, particularly in contentious matters requiring precision, strategic discipline, and clear communication with multinational stakeholders.

Ade’s profile reflects A&CO’s commitment to providing robust, sophisticated, and future-ready legal services, positioning the firm as a go-to Indonesian counsel for complex intellectual property disputes, data protection matters, and insolvency-driven litigation.
