Overview
Assegaf Hamzah & Partners (AHP) is widely recognised as one of Indonesia's premier full-service law firms and remains among the country's largest and most influential legal practices. With a deep bench of senior practitioners and one of the broadest service offerings in the market, the firm is a longstanding adviser to leading Indonesian corporates, multinational companies, financial institutions, state-owned enterprises and government-linked entities. Through its membership in the Rajah & Tann Asia network, AHP is also well positioned to support complex cross-border transactions and disputes throughout Southeast Asia and beyond.
The firm's practice spans banking and finance, capital markets, corporate and M&A, competition, dispute resolution, employment, intellectual property, projects, real estate, restructuring, tax and technology, supplemented by notable industry expertise in aviation, telecommunications, energy, infrastructure, natural resources and emerging sectors linked to Indonesia's digital and energy-transition economy. The breadth of the platform enables the firm to field integrated teams on many of the country's most significant and complex mandates.
During the research period, AHP remained involved in a number of landmark transactions, financing exercises, disputes and regulatory matters that reflect its position at the forefront of the Indonesian legal market. The firm's work included advising on the XLSMART telecommunications merger, strategic projects supporting Indonesia's electric-vehicle battery ecosystem, sovereign and quasi-sovereign bond issuances, major infrastructure and energy developments, and complex restructurings involving some of the country's largest state-owned enterprises. These mandates highlight the firm's ability to combine expertise across corporate, financing, regulatory and contentious disciplines to deliver comprehensive solutions on matters of national and regional significance.
Beyond individual mandates, AHP has continued to strengthen its position in sectors attracting significant investment and regulatory attention, including digital infrastructure, technology, telecommunications, renewable energy and projects associated with Indonesia's broader industrial downstreaming and energy-transition objectives. The firm has also maintained a strong pipeline of work connected to public company transactions, foreign direct investment and strategic cross-border acquisitions, underscoring its role as a key adviser on Indonesia's evolving economic landscape.
Managing partner Ahmad Fikri Assegaf remains closely involved in the banking and finance practice, while deputy managing partner Tunggul Purusa Utomo, co-head of Corporate/M&A, continues to lead many of the firm's flagship corporate and capital markets mandates. Other prominent practitioners include Kanya Satwika in Banking, Finance & Projects, Putu Suryastuti in Capital Markets, Eko Basyuni in Corporate/M&A, and disputes co-heads Chandra M. Hamzah and Eri Hertiawan, supported by a sizeable bench of specialists across the firm's transactional, regulatory and contentious practices.
The firm has continued to invest in the development of its senior bench and sector capabilities, including the addition of oil-and-gas specialist Alan Frederik as of counsel in the Banking, Finance & Projects practice in 2025.
