ISFIN breaks through in Indonesia

One of the leading Indonesian law firms SOEMADIPRADJA & TAHER partners with ISFIN

Great start in the year for ISFIN, which ambitiously has teamed up with Soemadipradja & Taher (S&T) as its exclusive representative in Indonesia for the legal sector.

Prof. Laurent MARLIERE, CEO of ISFIN says “with a population of 250 million consumers, Indonesia represents one of the largest Muslim markets in the world. It will be one of the main growth markets of the decade. Investments in infrastructure and retail will just boom and we want to accompany foreign companies in this huge retail market!

Despite the concentration of Muslim consumers, Islamic finance in Indonesia is not as developed as other Islamic countries. The Indonesian government recently announced a strategic plan to improve the “Islamic economy” in the country with the population’s support. Opportunities are thus great for companies willing to export Halal products there. Teaming up with S&T is important for ISFIN as ISFIN wanted to have a partner with a strong reputation and knowledge in Islamic markets in this country. ”

RETNO MULJOSANTOSO, S&T partner, says “Founded in 1991, S&T has a broad understanding of Indonesian law and local business culture.

Through the collective expertise of our partners, attorneys and foreign counsel, a wealth of experience representing corporate clients, and an ability to look beyond traditional approaches and think creatively, S&T assists local, foreign and multinational clients to achieve their business objectives within Indonesia. ”

The firm’s client base includes public, international and local companies comprising business owners, investors and financial institutions. S&T is reputed for its practical solutions in banking & finance (including the Islamic finance sector), capital markets, mergers & acquisitions, energy & natural resources, foreign investment, environmental issues, general corporate & commercial matters, insurance, project finance, telecommunications, and dispute resolution, including litigation and arbitration.

“Our cooperation with ISFIN is going to strengthen our capacity to advise investors interested in Islamic markets and who are keen to invest in Indonesia”, adds RETNO MULJOSANTOSO.

S&T is an award winning firm, which is ranked in the top tiers in prestigious legal publications and directories.

ISFIN is the world’s leading platform of law firms specializing in Islamic Finance, investments from and to the Muslim world and the Halal industry. The alliance covers more than 60+ jurisdictions around the world. ISFIN is composed by the most innovative and highly regarded independent law firms.
