Indonesian law firm ADCO Law has increased its partner count to six after hiring capital markets specialist Hanny Marpaung (L) as a partner from HHP Law Firm, where she was a senior associate, and promoting labour expert Morales Sundusing.

The two new partners have also been named as practice area heads. Marpaung helms ADCO's newly established capital markets and securities practice, while Sundusing leads the employment and industrial relations practice.

"Our firm has grown significantly over the past few years; our decision to open new practice areas and bring on new partners strengthens our commitment to thrive as a law firm," said Dendi Adisuryo, a senior partner of ADCO, in a statement.

Marpaung advises issuers, banks and underwriters on capital market transactions, including IPOs, M&As, rights issues and debt issuances, as well as disclosure, good corporate governance, related-party transaction materials and takeovers. Prior to her second stint at HHP starting in 2022, Marpaung worked for Makarim & Taira S, Nasoetion & Atyanto, and Hanafiah Ponggawa & Partners. She also heads a senior in-house role at Terra Capital.

Sundusing joined ADCO in 2020 after working at SWAS Law Firm, Schinder Law Firm, and Maqdir Ismail & Partners. He advises corporate clients on employment law, litigation and alternative dispute resolution.

With these appointments, ADCO now has six partners, including corporate lawyer Alta Mahandara, who came on board from Wibowo Hadiwijaya & Co in 2022.
