Combining talent, knowledge and experience with passion for excellence is what sets us apart, in how we treat our clients and one another as colleagues. Our sustainable productivity and impeccable performance at work start from within our healthy and supportive work culture and environment that embraces mutual respect, inclusiveness, and teamwork. Our leaders pay attention to these primary factors to attract, nurture and retain top legal talents.
While we understand that to realize our fullest potential—and to achieve the best results for you—all our people must connect to a common purpose: your success and satisfaction, our colleagues are also aware that they need to collaborate in harmony as a solid team in doing so with mutual respect and humility, to joyfully support and appreciate each other, leaving their ego at the door, and they should never compromise our perpetual commitment to both professional and personal integrity in everything we do at work. For us, that is a practical example of passion for excellence that empowers us to deliver superior client service.
As we strive to leverage our ability to be a true partner to our clients in their journey of growth, by which our genuine success is measured, we therefore seeks to be a reliable problem-solving partner for our clients to benefit from the firm's unparalleled local market knowledge from legal, regulatory, investment and political landscape across the most regulated industries. Our clients trust us to guide them through some of their most important transactions, opportunities and challenges. We make it our mission to return that trust with sound advice, thoughtful strategy, and innovative solutions, defining what "reliability at its finest" means.
We understand that knowledge is power. For us it goes deeper than that: inquisitiveness is the beginning of power, and success. Our inquisitiveness—intellectual curiosity and eagerness for knowledge—propels us to partner with our clients to learn and understand their business and the challenges ahead of them from legal, commercial and operational standpoints. We spend time with our clients to truly understand their business goals and models, and the services they need to move forward in addressing their problems, concerns and challenges, which is paramount for us to find curated, mission-critical solutions to clients’ problems and legal needs across industries while exceeding their service expectations.
Our lawyers are properly trained to understand and treasure the basic principles, theories and fundamentals of Indonesian laws that they learned in the early days of their law schools, to never underestimate them and always embed them into their formulation of legal arguments, analysis and opinions, so they could dissect and navigate through complicated legal structures and issues before finally come up with rock-solid, creative and effective legal advice and solutions to clients' problems, concerns and questions.
This is foundational to how we deliver elite legal counsel to our clients. And there is an enormous enjoyment of solving complex legal problems when we are equipped with the strong fundamentals of law and technical competence in this profession we love and so passionate about, from which we calibrate the advice and solutions given to our clients.
In light of the fact that our clients operate in an increasingly challenging times with the sheer complexity of modern markets and an ever-changing regulatory environment that contribute to a proliferation of legal, commercial and regulatory risks, we respond to these challenges by assembling experts of the highest caliber with incisive mind to use collective intelligence in helping clients make critical decisions, prepare for new opportunities, secure the deals and tackle unprecedented matters.
Our incisive mind seeks to calibrate and balance the commercial implications alongside the legal ones in our advice as clients tend to have business problems, not just legal problems. In doing so, we apply rigor and creativity in equal measure before proposing a personalized, workable solution to our client that marks our distinctive service. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing our client's face light up when we finally get to the end of the road and there is a success, and those incisive minds who work with us played a pivotal role to achieve it collaboratively.
On top of our rock-solid legal acumen and deep insight into a myriad of industries' evolving regulations, legal challenges, commercial and political risks, our attorneys have the commitment to flexibility and responsiveness to the client's changing needs and dynamic challenges. Our clients communicate with us without time constraints. Our clients are provided with our consistent attentive support from the moment the attorney-client relationship is officially established until the overall scope of works are delivered and completed. That particular commitment is directly linked to that of the client satisfaction. It is a key factor to ensure that your experience with Foster as satisfying as the outcomes we help you achieve.
