Anggraeni and Partners, a Jakarta‑based law firm with a strong focus on maritime law, shipping disputes, and international arbitration, is proud to support the Faculty of Law Universitas Indonesia team in the 26th International Maritime Law Arbitration Moot (IMLAM 2026). This collaboration reflects our ongoing commitment to developing the next generation of Indonesian maritime lawyers and arbitration practitioners.
By working closely with leading universities and student moot teams, Anggraeni and Partners helps bridge the gap between legal education and real‑world dispute resolution, particularly in the specialised field of international maritime trade and charterparty disputes.
The International Maritime Law Arbitration Moot (IMLAM) is a premier annual moot court competition dedicated to commercial maritime disputes resolved through international arbitration. Organised with the support of leading academic institutions, IMLAM brings together law schools from around the world to compete in written and oral advocacy.
The 2026 edition of IMLAM will be hosted in person by the University of Sydney Law School, one of the region’s leading centres for maritime and commercial law. Teams are required to draft written submissions for both claimant and respondent, and then present oral arguments before panels of arbitrators consisting of academics, judges, and practitioners in maritime and shipping law. The moot is recognised globally for its rigorous focus on charterparties, carriage of goods by sea, and the procedural framework of international arbitration.
The IMLAM 2026 case concerns a dispute between Kaus Shipping (Owners) and Spica Chartering (Charterers) arising out of a voyage performed under an amended NYPE 1946 time charter form. The fictional arbitration raises several core legal issues highly relevant to contemporary maritime practice, including:
The validity and jurisdictional effect of a Settlement Agreement
Liability for tug costs in relation to the safe port warranty
Liability for hire and indemnity under express and implied indemnity clauses
Recovery of a Settlement Sum on the basis of unjust enrichment
Through this problem, students engage directly with complex questions of international maritime trade under English law, while deepening their understanding of risk allocation, contractual drafting, and remedies between shipowners and charterers.
As a law firm recognised for its work in shipping, admiralty, commercial disputes, and arbitration, Anggraeni and Partners consistently supports academic and moot court activities in these fields. Our involvement in IMLAM 2026 builds on previous collaborations with Indonesian law faculties and international moot competitions, underscoring our role as a maritime and arbitration law partner for both clients and the wider legal community.
In preparation for the International Maritime Law Arbitration Moot, our firm hosted a dedicated practice pleading session for the Universitas Indonesia team. During this session, our lawyers provided:
Practical guidance on case strategy and issue framing
Feedback on written submissions and memorial drafting
Coaching on oral advocacy, including structure, delivery, and tribunal etiquette
Insights on how maritime and charterparty disputes are handled in real arbitration proceedings
The session was designed to simulate a realistic hearing environment, giving students the opportunity to test and refine their arguments in front of practitioners familiar with complex maritime and commercial disputes.
This initiative is driven by the leadership of Setyawati Fitri Anggraeni, Managing Partner of Anggraeni and Partners, who strongly supports the firm’s engagement with legal education and capacity building in Indonesia. Under her guidance, the firm continues to invest in programmes that strengthen Indonesian expertise in maritime law, shipping, and international arbitration.
The Universitas Indonesia team also expressed deep appreciation to Mr. Hary Elias for graciously agreeing to act as a guest coach for their pleading practice. With his extensive experience in dispute resolution and advocacy, Mr. Elias provided invaluable feedback on argument structure, advocacy style, and strategic thinking in complex commercial and maritime disputes. His involvement added an international dimension to the team’s preparation for IMLAM 2026.
Beyond senior leadership, the participation of Anggraeni and Partners’ younger lawyers—including Raihan—was crucial to the success of the preparation programme. Through mock hearings, detailed debriefs, and iterative review of submissions, they helped the Universitas Indonesia team view the IMLAM 2026 problem from the perspective of practising counsel and arbitrators.
This hands‑on collaboration not only boosted the confidence of the student mooters, but also gave them a realistic understanding of how maritime and commercial disputes are argued and resolved in arbitration forums. For the firm, it provided an opportunity for younger lawyers to mentor future practitioners and further develop their own advocacy and coaching skills.
By supporting the Universitas Indonesia team in the International Maritime Law Arbitration Moot, Anggraeni and Partners aims to contribute to the growth of Indonesian expertise in maritime law, shipping disputes, and international arbitration. Participation in IMLAM 2026 enhances the visibility of Indonesian law schools and practitioners in a highly specialised global field, while showcasing the country’s emerging talent in maritime dispute resolution.
Anggraeni and Partners remains committed to future collaborations with universities, student organisations, and professional bodies that share a passion for maritime law, arbitration, and commercial dispute resolution. We extend our best wishes to the Faculty of Law Universitas Indonesia delegates at IMLAM 2026 and trust that this experience will serve as an important milestone in their professional journeys as future maritime and arbitration practitioners.
