The Role of Notaries In Carrying Out The Functions of Legal Consultants and General Officers In The Gms Process As Part Of Corporate Governance In Limited Liability Companies (Empirical Study In Pinrang Regency)

Abstract

Abstract. This research aims to analyze the role of notaries in performing their duties and functions related to the implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) principles in Limited Liability Companies (PT), especially when notaries also serve as legal consultants. The study was conducted in Pinrang Regency, South Sulawesi, using an empirical juridical approach. Data were collected through interviews with notaries, document analysis, and direct observation. The results show that notaries not only prepare the deeds of incorporation but also provide legal consultation to founders regarding organizational structure and GCG principles. However, challenges remain in terms of entrepreneurs' understanding of governance and limited supervision of GCG implementation at the local level. This research contributes to strengthening the role of notaries as the front line in ensuring legal certainty and professional governance in the establishment and management of business entities.
