New managing partner is an experienced corporate and commercial lawyer
Indonesian law firm TNB & Partners, which operates in association with global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright, has announced the appointment of Kresna Panggabean as its new managing partner.
Panggabean succeeds Tasdikiah Siregar, who has been TNB & Partners’ managing partner since 2016 and remains the head of banking and finance.
An experienced corporate and commercial lawyer in Indonesia, Panggabean leads the dispute resolution practice and co-leads the corporate practice at TNB & Partners. He represents a diverse range of international and local companies across the energy, mining, commodities, technology and healthcare sectors.
“Indonesia has the potential to become one of the leading economies in the Asia-Pacific region in coming years,” said Alison Deitz, managing partner of NRF in Australia. “We congratulate Kresna on this new appointment and are excited to continue to work with TNB & Partners to help our clients pursue opportunities and navigate change in Southeast Asia and around the world.”
“As Indonesia looks to fuel an economic recovery from COVID-19, we foresee a need for growing M&A and financing transactions across a range of sectors, such as energy, mining, healthcare and technology,” said Panggabean. “With its association with Norton Rose Fulbright in Australia, TNB & Partners is well placed to assist the domestic and international clients that will participate in that growth.”
