Title: Indonesian Law Firms Play Vital Role in Business Sector Amid Regulatory Challenges

In Jakarta, Indonesia, the business sector is increasingly turning to external legal expertise to navigate the complex regulatory landscape. According to a recent report, at least 129 law firms in Indonesia have handled merger and acquisition cases, while 125 firms have managed arbitration, litigation, and dispute resolution cases over the past year.

The interaction between business and law in Indonesia is robust, with these law firms collectively handling more than 3,000 cases. Arkka Dhiratara, CEO of Hukumonline, emphasized the importance of legal certainty and the expertise of competent law firms and lawyers in supporting businesses.

To help businesses find the most capable legal experts, Hukumonline has relaunched its Practice Leaders directory, which profiles hundreds of Indonesian law firms based on their performance across 32 practice areas. This directory serves as a crucial hub for connecting in-house counsels, corporate secretaries, and other legal professionals with leading legal services.

Arsjad Rasjid, Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN), expressed hope that the Practice Leaders initiative would foster collaboration among legal practitioners to create an integrity-driven legal environment. Law firms play a crucial role in helping industries navigate regulatory frameworks, mitigate legal risks, and ensure compliance with applicable laws.

The Hukumonline Top 100 Indonesian Law Firms event recognizes the achievements of law firms across the nation, with 236 firms from various provinces participating this year.
