KordaMentha strengthens its commitment to the Indonesian market by opening second office in Asia

KordaMentha recently acquired Pilot Asia Capital, a Jakarta based Restructuring Advisory practice that has been operating in Indonesia since 1998. Robert Jolly, KordaMentha Partner and former owner and Managing Director of Pilot Asia Capital, will oversee the Indonesian Practice and its highly experienced local team that brings over 40 years of collective experience working with international and local clients in situations of distress. Robert Jolly has over 25 years of experience in the fields of corporate advisory, recovery, turnaround and restructuring in Asia, of which 17 years have been in Indonesia. 

Robert Jolly said, “KordaMentha’s Jakarta practice will provide Indonesian clients with access to the same independent and award winning forensic, restructuring and advisory services provided to clients across Australia and Singapore, as well as benefit from our extensive local knowledge and experience. I am very pleased to be part of the continued success of our clients and leading the incredible talents of our local team.” 

KordaMentha has a strong reputation across Asia-Pacific, having managed many of the region’s largest commercial matters over the past decade. The firm is best known in Asia for their recent work on Pertamina, Jakarta’s state owned energy company and aims to further their position in the region through the establishment of a permanent office in Indonesia.  

On the Jakarta office, Partner and Co-Founder of KordaMentha Mark Korda said, “As a leading emerging market within the Asia-Pacific region, Indonesia was a logical next step for our expansion. Having a permanent Indonesian office in one of Asia’s most significant commercial hubs will allow KordaMentha to better service our current and increasingly global client base who will benefit greatly from Robert Jolly’s extensive experience in the local market.” 

KordaMentha Indonesia’s business objective is to grow its consulting practice in the areas of advisory, forensic and restructuring support for businesses across a range of industries. KordaMentha is already investing in resources to develop its business, expecting to double in size over the next 12 months. This investment spending will be reflected in improved infrastructure, IT-technology and integrated systems, recruitment, talent development through best practices, training and education. Successful services provided to past clients include, the debt restructuring of Garuda Indonesia, the restructuring and sale of Aquaculture group Dipasena and Asia Pulp creditor advisory.

KordaMentha's office is located in World Trade Centre II, 18th Floor, Jalan Jenderal Sudirman Kav 29 – 31, Jakarta.
