Budidjaja fuses world-class legal services with strong Indonesian expertise
As the world’s fastest-growing market for legal services, Asia-Pacific is home to a number of law firms that have rapidly upgraded their expertise to accommodate the region’s influx of cross-border trade and investment.
In Indonesia, Budidjaja International Lawyers (BIL) is one such group – a full-service and independent law firm that has forged a reputation as one of the country’s leading legal practices for its strong domestic and international presence and high rate of client satisfaction.
Recognised by prestigious legal directories and publications such as Asian Legal Business, Chambers and Partners and The Legal 500, BIL maintains a strong international network with partner firms around the world from China and Australia to Papua New Guinea and American Samoa.
“Choosing the right legal counsel who understands business and the uniqueness of Indonesian culture is very important,” says Tony Budidjaja, BIL’s managing partner. “Driven by integrity and reliability, we always strive for excellence and have a vision by 2020 to become Indonesia’s trusted one-stop provider of world-class legal solutions that satisfy the needs of clients while also generating a positive impact on society.”
Established in 2007 as Budidjaja & Associates, the firm has rapidly grown to offer an extensive range of legal services in seven distinct practice groups led by different partners. These cover matters such as bankruptcy and corporate restructuring, commercial dispute resolution, energy, infrastructure and project finance, corporate mergers and acquisitions, employment relations, foreign direct investment, joint ventures, intellectual property rights, insurance and electronic commerce.
With a deep understanding of Indonesia’s legal- and business-oriented operating environments and expertise in cross-border legal work, the firm changed its name to Budidjaja International Lawyers last year as a fitting milestone celebrating its 10th anniversary.
More than 70 per cent of BIL’s clients are international clients coming from a vast range of industries such as manufacturing, banking, engineering, real estate, health care, information technology and non-profit organisations.
