Banking and Finance

Our Banking & Finance practice is a core pillar of the Firm’s legacy and is widely recognised for its technical depth, crisis-tested judgment, and market leadership. Our strength is evidenced by our involvement in numerous landmark financing, debt restructuring, and workout transactions during the 1997 Asian financial crisis and the 2008 global financial crisis, including complex and systemically significant matters involving the Indonesian Banking Restructuring Agency (IBRA).

These engagements required not only legal precision, but a deep understanding of banking regulation, creditor dynamics, state intervention mechanisms, and market stabilisation strategies. We advise domestic and international banks, financial institutions, multinational corporations, and large-scale business groups on a full spectrum of banking and finance matters, including bilateral and syndicated lending, structured and acquisition financing, refinancings, and complex cross-border transactions, acting for both lenders and borrowers. Our advice is grounded in a thorough understanding of prudential regulations, licensing requirements, capital adequacy considerations, and enforcement risk.

A defining strength of our practice lies in our deep regulatory credibility and long-standing engagement with key authorities, including OJK, Bank Indonesia, IDX, BKPM, and DPR. This allows us to navigate Indonesia’s highly regulated banking sector with confidence, anticipate regulatory concerns, and deliver solutions that are both technically robust and practically executable
