DLA Piper’s strategic alliance in Indonesia with local firm Ivan Almaida Baely & Firmansyah (IAB&F), first announced in May 2013, is set to come to an end in November this year, according to the two firms.

The rapid growth of Indonesia’s demand for energy has led to new plans by the Government of Indonesia (“GoI”) to increase domestic oil supply by developing oil refinery construction.

DLA Piper has hired Michael Horn, an infrastructure and structured finance specialist formerly with Clyde & Co, as partner at its Singapore office.
