Tracy Tania
Tracy joined Assegaf Hamzah & Partners as an intern in 2011 after having earlier spent some time with a leading Singaporean law firm, where she gained valuable experience of the workings of the common law. She was made an associate at AHP in 2011.
Since commencing her practice at the firm, Tracy has naturally gravitated towards M&A and the capital markets -- areas of the law that she says provide her with the sort of challenges she relishes. She performs a wide range of duties, such as legal drafting, research, and preparing legal opinions (including a recent comprehensive opinion on the law and procedures governing the establishment of a new airline in Indonesia). She has also participated in the preparations for an IPO by an oil company, and in due diligence exercises related to a number of proposed acquisitions in the aviation and catering industries.
With an outstanding academic record, Tracy holds a bachelor of law degree from the University of Indonesia (UI). While in law school, she played an active role in student societies and activities, including serving as an executive of the UI Law School’s Student Union. She was also an avid participant in moot court competitions, and has won a series of mooting awards, including as a member of the UI team that came 25th out of 124 teams in the White and Case International Rounds of the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition in Washington DC, USA, in 2011, having come 56th out of 127 teams the previous year. In addition, she was on the UI team that took part in the 7th Red Cross International Humanitarian Law Moot Court Competition for Asia Pacific Region, which was staged in Hong Kong in 2009.
A passionate debater, Tracy is an executive of the Asian Law Students Association (ALSA) Debating Club. She also currently serves as president of the UI International Law Moot Court Society, having previously held the post of secretary general.
Tracy is involved in a number of faith-based charitable organizations. She also has a keen interest in improving legal education in Indonesia, and devotes a considerable part of her free time to advancing this goal at her alma mater, UI. As for relaxation, she admits that there is nothing she likes better than getting comfortable with a good book.
