Client feedback

“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 that have 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 advisors. In my experience, they have consistently delivered, not only the best for their clients, but 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.” – Commercial and transactions
