What Walalangi & Partners does

Walalangi & Partners (W&P) is a Jakarta-based corporate law firm founded in 2017, operating in formal association with Nishimura & Asahi, one of Japan's largest law firms. The firm provides legal advisory services across 12 practice areas: Corporate/M&A, Banking & Finance, Real Property, Project Development, Foreign Direct Investment, Antitrust & Competition, Debt & Corporate Restructuring, Capital Markets, Employment & Labor, TMT, Natural Resources/Energy/Carbon, and Construction. W&P serves prestigious international corporations, trading houses, multinational banks, financial institutions, multi-finance companies, real property companies, energy and infrastructure firms, and Indonesian corporates — with a notably high concentration of Japanese multinational clients facilitated by the N&A association.

The firm employs approximately 30+ lawyers across partner, senior associate, associate, counsel, and foreign counsel levels, led by Managing Partner Luky I. Walalangi and Partners Miriam Andreta, Hans Adiputra Kurniawan, and Jeanne Elisabeth Donauw. W&P has built a top-tier brand, ranked across all major international legal directories (Chambers & Partners, The Legal 500 Asia Pacific, IFLR1000, Asialaw Profiles, Asian Legal Business) and designated Elite 1 – Practice Leaders in 11 practice areas by Hukumonline among Indonesia's Top 50 Largest Full-Service Firms.

Revenue is generated through professional service fees on hourly, fixed-fee, or transaction-success bases, with no publicly disclosed financial figures. The firm's go-to-market is enterprise-focused, leveraging direct partner-led engagement, thought leadership via legal directory contributions, client seminars, and the cross-border referral pipeline from Nishimura & Asahi's 22+ office global network. There is no technology product, software offering, or AI/ML capability — W&P's value proposition rests entirely on legal expertise, government-relationship depth, and execution quality on complex cross-border corporate transactions.
