The firm also has a distinct specialism in corporate immigration, arranging work permits and visas for expatriate employees. The practice is co-led by Syahdan Z. Aziz, who handles both contentious and non-contentious employment matters, and Stephen Igor Warokka, whose expertise extends to corporate immigration issues.
