        "summary": "The Indonesian Advocates Association SAI (Peradi SAI) has declared that lawyers can no longer be generalists handling all matters in the modern era, urging specialisation in specific competencies due to the increasing complexity of legal challenges driven by rapid technological growth. During their National Working Meeting in Jakarta, Peradi SAI introduced multi-theme seminars to strengthen this focus and positioned the event as a stepping stone towards revising Law No. 18 of 2003 on Advocates, which they deem inadequate for current realities. The association supports the House of Representatives' Commission III's revision plans and aims to serve as a key source of ideas for the government and legislature in shaping the future of the legal profession.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA - The Indonesian Advocates Association SAI (Peradi SAI)\nstates that lawyers in the current era can no longer be all-round\nadvocates handling various matters. Peradi SAI General Chairman Harry\nPonto assesses that lawyers should now have specialisation in certain\ncompetencies. \u201cIt is no longer the time in this current era for\nall-round lawyers. Yes, they come and whatever it is, we can handle it.\nIt can\u2019t be like that anymore,\u201d said Harry at the Peradi SAI National\nWorking Meeting at the Grand Sahid Jaya Hotel, Jakarta, on Friday\n(8\/5\/2026). According to Harry, current legal challenges are becoming\nincreasingly complex along with the rapid growth of technology. He\nstated that specialisation does not hinder a lawyer in practising their\nprofession; instead, it allows them to delve deeper into the field they\npursue. \u201cSo, what we want is that truly, lawyers in the future are\nrequired to have specialisation,\u201d said Harry. As a concrete form of\nstrengthening this specialisation, this Peradi SAI National Working\nMeeting features an innovation in the form of multi-theme seminars. In\naddition, the national meeting is also seen as an entry point towards\nrevising Law No.\u00a018 of 2003 on Advocates. According to him, that law is\nno longer adequate to address realities in the field, so Peradi SAI\nsupports the plans of the House of Representatives\u2019 Commission III to\nrevise the Advocates Law. Harry hopes that Peradi SAI can become one of\nthe main sources of thought for the government and legislature in\nformulating the new direction of the advocate profession in the\nfuture.<\/p>",
