Our partners, Maria Sagrado, Frederick Simanjuntak and Stephanie Kandou recently authored The Legal 500: Lending & Secured Finance Country Comparative Guide for the Indonesian jurisdiction.

This year, Makarim & Taira S. is shortlisted again as Firm of the Year in the Benchmark Litigation Asia-Pacific 2022 Awards. Additionally, we are honored to have our Senior Partner, Rahayu Ningsih Hoed, shortlisted as Lawyer of the Year in the same awards. These awards celebrate the leading litigators and most impactful disputes across Asia-Pacific based upon the information captured in the submission for the latest edition of Benchmark Litigation Asia-Pacific.

On April 6th, 2022, our Litigation Practice Group held a special Litigation Group Meeting (LGM) in the office of Makarim & Taira S. It was special because it was the first physical group meeting held since the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020. In addition, we had the honor of welcoming Bapak Arief Sulistyanto, the Head of the Security Maintenance Agency of the Indonesian National Police (KABAHARKAM Polri) and Bapak Rivan Achmad Purwantono, the President Director of PT Jasa Raharja, to share their valuable knowledge of Binary Option Investment Practices, one of the topics attracting much attention in the country recently.

For two consecutive years, Rahayu or ‘Yayuk’, has been invited to represent the Indonesian Advocate Association (PERADI) South Jakarta to speak in Technical Guidance Training on Cooperation Agreement Drafting developed by Port Operators.

It is with great honor that we announce that this month, Rahayu has been awarded the title of one of the 2022 Indonesia IFLR1000 Women Leaders. The IFLR1000 Women Leaders is an elite ranking category reserved for the most prominent women lawyers around the world working in the area of law IFLR1000 research. This is an exclusive group of lawyers with outstanding reputations in their markets who either have expertise and experience in working on complex deals, or who have risen to hold leadership roles within their firms or their practices. For some individuals, both of these are true, and we are proud to say that Rahayu is one of those distinguished individuals.
