Indonesian law firm ADCO Law has hired Alexandra (Alex) Gerungan as partner and head of its litigation and alternative dispute resolution practice from Makarim & Taira S, where she spent more than 17 years.

"Litigation and alternative dispute resolution are crucial parts of our firm.

We are excited about her arrival and feel confident in the firm's future growth. ADCO Law is delighted to have Alex as a partner,” said Dendi Adisuryo, partner at ADCO Law, in a release.
