About

Astra International, the Indonesian conglomerate, is the second largest company in Indonesia by market capitalisation. Headquartered in Jakarta, the company’s legal department is led by Gita Tiffany Boer who assumes the role of chief corporate secretary and group general counsel. The company’s presence in a number of sectors – from extractives, to manufacturing, to IT – creates an unusual degree of complexity for its legal team, and nominators were emphatic that Boer has been among Indonesia’s finest in-house strategists. Boer joined the company in 2011 and has become an important part of its risk mitigation and decision-making structure. Comprised of a large team of lawyers, Astra International’s legal team can boast some of the country best in-house lawyers that have worked on major deals such as the purchase of a stake in the developer of a township on the outskirts of Jakarta for US$137m in 2017.
