Abstrak :
[Adanya gugatan perdata yang diajukan oleh Sumatra Partners LLC melawan advokat pada kantor hukum Ali Budiarjo, Nugroho, Reksodiputro (ABNR) atas pembuatan legal opinion telah menunjukkan potensi gugatan klien yang tidak puas akan pelayanan jasa hukum yang diberikan oleh advokat, khususnya dalam hal pembuatan legal opinion. Sampai saat ini belum terdapat putusan pengadilan yang dapat dijadikan yurisprudensi berkaitan dengan hal ini. Penelitian ini mencoba untuk menjawab mengenai isu bagaimana pertanggungjawaban advokat atas pembuatan legal opinion, baik secara etika profesi, perdata, dan pidana. Melalui pendekatan yuridis normatif diketahui bahwa terdapat batasan-batasan yang mengharuskan seorang advokat untuk bertanggung jawab, dan pada dasarnya advokat dapat dimintai pertanggungjawaban atas pembuatan legal opinion, baik secara etika profesi yang didasarkan pada ketentuan kode etik profesi advokat Indonesia yang diputuskan oleh dewan kehormatan advokat, secara perdata maupun pidana apabila terlebih dahulu dapat dibuktikan adanya itikad tidak baik pada diri advokat dalam menyusun legal opinion, serta mampu membuktikan dalil-dalil gugatan yang diajukan pada jenis pertanggungjawaban secara perdata ataupun membuktikan bahwa advokat tersebut telah memenuhi unsur delik tertentu yang berkaitan dengan penyusunan sebuah legal opinion. Selain itu, untuk memitigasi risiko pertanggungjawaban hukum yang dimiliki advokat, kedepannya advokat dapat melakukan penutupan asuransi tanggung gugat hukum. ......Civil lawsuits by Sumatra Partners LLC against some advocates in Ali Budiardjo, Nugroho, Reksodiputro (ABNR) law offices on matter malpractice in rendering legal opinion showed trends in clients to take lawsuit against their lawyer, who are not satisfied with the legal services provided by the lawyers, particularly in terms of rendering legal opinion.
