Herry, a key figure in ABNR’s projects, real estate and restructuring & insolvency practices, is lauded as one of Indonesia’s top-100 lawyers by Asia Business Law Journal (ABLJ) and is recommended for Projects & Energy by both Chambers Asia Pacific (2023 ed.) and The Legal 500 Asia Pacific (2023 ed.). He is also recognized as a “Highly Regarded” practitioner for Project Finance by IFLR 1000 and as a “Distinguished Practitioner” for Banking and Finance, Restructuring and Insolvency and Energy by Asialaw.

In projects, he has particular experience and expertise in the financing and development of major power-sector and industrial projects, and also regularly handles the real-estate aspects of such projects. He has worked on the financing and development of many of the largest power projects in Indonesia in recent years, including the Paiton Project, Tanjung Jati B Project, Sarulla Project, Banten Project, Cirebon and Cirebon Expansion Projects, Central Java Project, Wampu and Semangka Hydro Power Projects, and Muara Laboh and Rantau Dedap Geothermal Projects, and the Legok Nangka waste-to-energy project..

In the industrial-projects arena, he is counsel to Inalum (an Indonesian state-owned alumina producer that was appointed the holding company for all state-owned mining enterprises in 2017), which together with Antam (another Indonesian state-owned mining company) and PT Borneo Alumina Indonesia (project company owned by Inalum and Antam), is developing a smelter-grade alumina refinery in Mempawah (West Kalimantan Province) as a joint venture between Inalum, Antam and the world’s second largest alumina producer, Aluminum Corporation of China Ltd. (Chalco). Phase 1 of the project involves an investment of approx. USD 1 billion, with a further USD 2 billion expected to be invested during the second phase over the next 5 years.

In real estate, Herry recently completed work on the assignment of land assets from the Asahan Authority (a state industrial development authority) to Inalum – this was a monumental project involving the transfer of titles to over 1,200 hectares of land following the government’s decision to dissolve the Asahan Development Authority. 

In restructuring & insolvency, he has worked on a long list of major bankruptcy and debt restructuring matters down the years, including acting for major vessel-lessor creditors in the court-sanctioned debt-restructurings (PKPU) of PT Berlian Laju Tanker Tbk; representing various individual and corporate creditors in the bankruptcy proceedings of PT Polysindo Eka Perkasa Tbk; assisting various Indonesian banks creditors in the bankruptcy process of N.V.
