Hiswara Bunjamin & Tandjung promotes three to partnership

Leading Indonesian law firm Hiswara Bunjamin & Tandjung (HBT) has announced the promotion of three new partners in its corporate and disputes practices. 

The expansion of these two practices reflects the strong growth in HBT’s market-leading disputes, capital markets, financial services, technology, and mergers & acquisitions practices.  

It also builds on Hiswara Bunjamin & Tandjung's 24-year association with leading international law firm Herbert Smith Freehills, with one of the promotions amongst Herbert Smith Freehills' international counsel seconded to Jakarta.   

*To meet regulatory requirements, Michelle Virgiany will retain the title Senior International Counsel

Hiswara Bunjamin & Tandjung Managing Partner Tjahjadi Bunjamin said: "These promotions reflect where the Indonesian economy is booming – capital markets, financial services and technology."

"I am also very proud that they show our commitment to investing in, and retaining home-grown talent. With these appointments, 44% of our partnership in Jakarta will be women and over 80% of our partners will have been with the firm for at least six years." 

"It warms my heart to see that so many of my colleagues have found a home in this firm. Hiswara Bunjamin & Tandjung takes pride in creating a great working environment." 

These promotions take effect 1 May 2024.
