"This deal reflects ongoing regional and global interest in Indonesian investments, particularly in the financial services market, and demonstrates Herbert Smith Freehills and Hiswara Bunjamin & Tandjung's ability to provide seamless global support to multinational clients on complex cross-border deals."
