5 February 2026

SSEK Law Firm’s Real Estate practice continues to be recognized as one of the strongest and most established in Indonesia, earning top-tier rankings across leading international legal directories for its depth of expertise, consistency, and market-leading work.

In the Chambers and Partners Asia-Pacific 2026 rankings, SSEK is the only law firm in Indonesia ranked Band 1 for Real Estate. The firm has been ranked in Chambers for Real Estate for 19 consecutive years, reflecting its long-standing presence at the top of the market and its consistent recognition by clients and peers.

SSEK Partner Denny Rahmansyah is recognized as one of only three Indonesian lawyers ranked Band 1 for Real Estate in the Chambers and Partners Asia-Pacific 2026 rankings and has been ranked by Chambers for six consecutive years.

His standing is further reinforced by multiple accolades across major directories, including being named a Leading Partner for Real Estate and Construction by The Legal 500 Asia Pacific, a Distinguished Practitioner for Real Estate by Asialaw, and a Recommended Lawyer for Real Estate by Lexology Index (formerly Who’s Who Legal). Denny was recognized as a 2025 Lexology Index Client Choice for Real Estate, marking the third consecutive year he received this distinction, and he was the only lawyer in Indonesia recognized in the 2025 Client Choice report.

SSEK’s international bench further strengthens the practice. Michael D. Twomey and Michael S. Carl are two of only three Foreign Legal Consultants in Indonesia recognized for Real Estate by Chambers. Michael Twomey has been ranked for 19 years, while Michael Carl has been ranked for 16 years, underscoring their long-standing recognition in the Indonesian market. Both are also named Recommended Lawyers for Real Estate and Construction by The Legal 500 Asia Pacific, among other practice areas.

Beyond Chambers, SSEK’s Real Estate practice is consistently recognized across the market. The firm is ranked Tier 1 for Real Estate and Construction in The Legal 500 Asia Pacific 2026 and placed in the highest tier awarded, Highly Recommended, for Indonesia in the most recent Asialaw directory of leading law firms.

SSEK’s Real Estate practice advises domestic and international clients on the full spectrum of property-related matters, including acquisitions and disposals, large-scale commercial and mixed-use developments, industrial and logistics projects, data centers, hospitality, real estate financing, joint ventures, and real estate aspects of mergers and acquisitions.
