Dentons HPRP is pleased to announce that James Boyd has joined the firm as Counsel. A dual-qualified solicitor (England & Wales) and Indonesian advocate, James brings a wealth of experience advising both domestic and international clients on complex legal matters.

James offers integrated legal expertise across Indonesian and international jurisdictions, enabling efficient and comprehensive support for clients with cross-border interests. With a career spanning more than 25 years in Indonesia, he provides legal advice that is not only accurate and reliable, but also well-informed by the local business environment and regulatory landscape.

His recent experience includes advising on a range of high-profile transactions, such as a USD 15 billion integrated lithium-ion battery project by a Chinese investor; a joint venture between an Indonesian conglomerate and a South Korea-based company for a pipe manufacturing operation; a joint marketing deal between an Indonesian state-owned retailer and two overseas duty-free operators; and high-stakes contract negotiations for one of Indonesia’s leading beverage bottling firms with its U.S.-based principal.

In addition to his legal practice, James is an accomplished legal translator whose work includes projects for the Indonesian Supreme Court and Constitutional Court, as well as books and publications by notable public figures and business leaders.

James shared his enthusiasm about joining Dentons HPRP, “I’m really delighted to be part of a dynamic firm that is committed to delivering practical, client-focused legal services, and I’m looking forward to contributing to the firm’s continued success in serving clients with cross-border and local needs.” 

Managing Partner Sartono welcomed James, stating, “James’s combination of international and Indonesian legal qualifications and his long-standing experience in the country make him a valuable addition to our team. His ability to understand both global standards and local business culture will be instrumental in supporting our clients.”

James is admitted as a solicitor of England & Wales and as an advocate in Indonesia. He is a member of the Indonesian Bar Association (Peradi) and the Law Society of England & Wales.
