M&A 

"I have been working with HHR on Indonesian matters for as long as I can remember. HHR has worked on an outstanding list of transactions that would be the envy of any international law firm, let alone a boutique law firm from downtown Jakarta. This is precisely why HHR is worthy of mention. It is staffed with exceptionally talented lawyers who excel at delivering innovative and market-leading solutions for their clients. They represent rare gems outside the traditional A-list firms in Indonesia, with an exceptional commercial sense, extensive understanding of industry and market practices, phenomenal legal talent and ability, and the ability to foster deep relationships with their clients, across multiple industries, as their go-to and cost effective trusted advisers. In my experience, they have consistently delivered not only the best for their clients but also pragmatic results – all while maintaining a high-degree of touch themselves. This is precisely why HHR has consistently remained my number-one firm of choice in Indonesia. If you’re tired of the same old, same old, or if you have a particularly difficult or complex problem, or if you simply need the dedication or out-of-the-box thinking that brings creative solutions to life, then HHR must be on your shortlist for any transaction."
