1. Briefly describe your practice.
I have extensive experience in corporate and commercial law, including mergers and acquisitions, project financing, and strategic transactions in various industries. I've also worked on arbitration matters, particularly with enforcing foreign arbitral awards.
Additionally, I have developed a strong background in the natural resources and energy sectors, such as mining, oil and gas, and power plants. Recently, I’ve expanded my practice to cover the legal needs of clients in the information technology and startup sectors, supporting them through the complexities of these dynamic fields.
2. As a new Key Contact Partner, what strategies will you use to identify and act on opportunities for your firm to collaborate with other member firms?
As a new Key Contact Partner, my initial strategy will be to assess our firm's strengths, services, and market positions to member firms and also familiarize myself with other member firms so that I will be able to identify potential synergies. The next step is to build relationships with other member firms through regular communication and networking opportunities. In the long term, I would like to identify opportunities for joint projects as well as joint marketing efforts and client referrals.
3. Your firm, Makarim & Taira S., hosted a WLG | summit this past May/June. What was the highlight of the event?
The overall experience of hosting the summit in Bali this year was truly extraordinary, marked by several memorable moments that significantly contributed to its success. One of the standout aspects of the event was the series of social activities designed to foster genuine connections among participants. Participants had the chance to form bonds that extend beyond mere professional acquaintances, strengthening relationships that could lead to future collaborations and partnerships.
4. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
In my spare time, I cherish quality moments with family and friends, whether it’s simply hanging out at home, enjoying delicious meals at restaurants, or exploring new destinations together. I also love to catch up and unwind with friends and colleagues over drinks or coffee.
