总部位于北京的德恒律师事务所近日与印尼Armila & Rako律师事务所签约，正式建立联营合作关系。
此次合作设立的北京德恒（印尼）律师事务所，即“DeHeng ARKO Law Offices”，是德恒在东南亚的第3家分支机构，海外第14家分所，全球第59家办公室。
未来，DeHeng ARKO将由德恒北京合伙人贾辉律师担任联席主任。贾律师表示：“印尼作为东南亚最大的经济体，吸引了众多中国企业，而德恒印尼办公室的成立是德恒国际化进程中的一个里程碑。”
ARKO高级合伙人Eva Djauhari 表示：“我们相信，与德恒的战略合作将使我们加强关键领域的法律业务，尤其是与印尼-中国跨境利益相关的领域。中国是印尼三大投资国之一，双方的合作为法律行业带来了重大机遇。我们的目标是提高为涉及投资、贸易和其他跨境事务的客户提供服务，确保他们在两个司法管辖区都能获得顶级法律支持。”
Djauhari还指出：“资源共享将是本次联营的重要一环，包括人员交流计划、联合培训计划和专业知识共享。这些合作努力旨在确保持续的专业发展，并为我们的客户提供高质量的服务。”
德恒告诉ALB，其派驻印尼的律师团队由具有印尼、中国、美国纽约州律师执业资格律师团队领衔，为雅万高铁项目、印尼卡扬河五级电站项目、中国进出口银行、国家开发银行、中国电力投资集团、一冶集团印尼建设工程项目、山东玉龙黄金公司印尼镍矿项目等客户和项目提供法律服务支持。
此外，一带一路服务机制雅加达办公室、一带一路国际商事调解中心雅加达调解室也同时依托DeHeng ARKO设立：两者都是2016年由德恒主导设立的一带一路服务机构，其中前者囊括了全球170家专业服务机构，后者已经建立起拥有800多名调解员、120个线下调解室的全球互联网调解平台，受理案件超过4万件，调解成功率超过60%。
Chinese firm DeHeng launches in Indonesia with ARKO association firm
Beijing-headquartered law firm DeHeng has entered into an alliance with Indonesian law firm ARKO Law to launch a joined legal offering in the country, with an aim to assist an increasing number of Chinese businesses entering Southeast Asia’s largest economy.
DeHeng ARKO Law Offices will be co-led by DeHeng Beijing partner Jia Hui and marks the establishment of DeHeng's 59th office worldwide.
“As the largest economy in Southeast Asia, Indonesia has attracted numerous Chinese enterprises. The establishment of DeHeng’s Indonesia office is a milestone in the firm’s internationalization journey,” Hui told ALB.
“We believe that this strategic association with DeHeng, a highly reputable and large Chinese firm, positions us to strengthen key areas of legal practice, particularly in sectors aligned with Indonesia-China cross-border interests. With China being one of the top three largest investors in Indonesia, the collaboration opens significant opportunities for the legal industry. We aim to enhance our ability to serve clients involved in investment, trade, and other cross-border matters, ensuring they receive top-tier legal support across both jurisdictions,” added Eva Djauhari, senior partner at ARKO.
“Our association with DeHeng entails joint marketing efforts, collaborative research, and shared training programs. While we will soon adopt a joint branding approach under the association, each firm will continue to independently manage its own office operations. This arrangement allows us to leverage the strengths of our partnership while maintaining operational autonomy,” Djauhari said.
The legal team stationed in Indonesia comprises lawyers qualified to practice in Indonesia, China, and the State of New York. They have provided legal support for projects such as the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway, the Kayan river hydropower project, China First Metallurgical Group’s construction projects in Indonesia, and Shandong Yulong Gold's nickel mining project in Indonesia, serving clients such as the Export-Import Bank of China, China Development Bank, and State Power Investment Corporation.
Djauhari notes that resource sharing will be a vital component of this association, including exchange programs for personnel, joint training initiatives, and the sharing of expertise. “These collaborative efforts are designed to ensure continuous professional development and the delivery of high-quality services to our clients,” she said.
The Belt and Road Service Connections Jakarta Office and the Jakarta Mediation Room of the International Commercial Mediation Center for the Belt and Road (BNRMC) are also established under DeHeng ARKO's umbrella. These institutions, both initiated by DeHeng in 2016, serve as vital components of the Belt and Road Initiative. The former integrates a network of 170 professional service organizations worldwide, while the latter operates a global internet-based mediation platform with over 800 mediators and 120 offline mediation rooms, handling more than 40,000 cases with a success rate exceeding 60 percent, DeHeng said.
