Blake Dawson has achieved a significant coup with the appointment of well-connected lawyer Greg Terry, who will be based in the firm's Indonesia office. Terry joins the firm from Morgan Stanley Asia, where he was initially general counsel and then Southeast Asia chairman.
Blake Dawson’s boost to the Jakarta office was a strategic move to meet an anticipated rise in energy and resources work. “There’s a lot more activity happening in Indonesia in the cross-border M&A field than there is in most other countries in the region. So there are still opportunities even in a difficult market, especially in Jakarta,” Terry said.
“Being in this region for the better part of 40 years I’ve got to meet most of the major families in Asia and those running corporations. I hope I’ll be able to attract into the firm friends and others in the region who have been involved in the global legal market.”
