Our legal teams comprise lawyers who have also accumulated substantial Indonesian and regional legal practice experience over the years, including in-depth knowledge of Indonesian and Asian business culture. This allows our practice groups to leverage on the all-round professional abilities available in the firm. Our set-up facilitates client access to the experience and skills of lawyers across the spectrum of legal practices.

Through years of exposure to and within the Indonesian market, our Indonesian lawyers are hence proficient in the requisite knowledge, culture and communication tools required on the job. We continually keep abreast of a wide range of legal developments within Indonesia and we work closely with prominent legal academics and law firms in Indonesia. Our lawyers are all native speakers of Bahasa Indonesia and they fully understand the legal landscape as well as common practices in Indonesia.

The combination of our extensive experience and local knowledge has put us in a unique position as a “one-stop legal service” in the region. We have the experience and the resources to deliver pragmatic advice, regardless of the degree of complexity associated with any legal problem. As such it has enabled our lawyers to understand the needs of their clients, to negotiate and to provide solutions more effectively and efficient than those of other local or offshore law firms in Singapore.

We have a strong relationship with top Indonesian law firms, universities and prominent key figures in Indonesia. Our extensive global network also enables us to conduct legal matters involving different jurisdictions and professionals from other industries. We have strong relationships with our international clients, international law firms as well as renowned accounting firms, including easy access to forensic accountants and commercial investigators within the region.

This extensive network has enabled us to not only provide a premium and comprehensive legal service to our clients, but also to assist our clients in expanding their networks by facilitating and connecting them with our global network contacts.

Our lawyers travel to Jakarta and other Indonesian cities on a regular basis. Our strategic position in the heart of ASEAN’s financial hub has also enabled us to expedite, organise and deploy legal teams internationally as well as in a very efficient and prompt manner.
