Introduction

In legal practice, disputes are unavoidable. Therefore, appropriate resolution is needed in accordance with applicable law. One effort to resolve disputes is to file a lawsuit in court. However, not all disputes must be resolved through the courts. There are disputes that can be resolved through mediation, arbitration, or negotiation.

In an effort to resolve the dispute, advocates play an important role. Advocates as interested parties in the case must be able to provide a legal view that is precise and accurate. One form of legal view is a legal opinion.

A legal opinion is an analysis of a legal problem. The analysis is carried out by referring to applicable laws and regulations, court decisions, and legal doctrines. It contains an appropriate and relevant legal view of the case at hand.

Usually, it is given by advocates, legal consultants, or legal institutions that have expertise in the field of law. Later, it is needed in complex cases or in cases that do not yet have a definite court decision.
