Widyawan & Partners

What Widyawan & Partners does

Widyawan & Partners is an Indonesian corporate law firm headquartered at Sequis Tower in Jakarta, founded in 2005 and operating with approximately 50 employees. The firm provides a comprehensive range of Indonesian legal services across practice areas including Banking, Capital Markets, Corporate M&A, Dispute Resolution, Employment & Incentives, Energy & Infrastructure, and Restructuring & Insolvency, and serves key sectors such as Banks, Insurance, Energy and Utilities, Infrastructure & Transport, Mining, Private Equity & Financial Sponsors, and Technology, Media & Telecoms (TMT). Its core differentiator is a formal association with Linklaters LLP, the Magic Circle international firm, which enables co-branded delivery of cross-border mandates and access to the Linklaters global client network, knowledge portal and training resources, while Widyawan & Partners maintains its independent Indonesian-law qualification. Revenue is generated through traditional professional services fee arrangements (billable hours and matter-based fees) for enterprise clients including multinational corporations, financial institutions, sovereign and pension investors (CPPIB), financial sponsors (Farallon, Temasek, Siam Commercial Bank), and major Indonesian corporates (PT Pamapersada Nusantara, Indosat). Notable mandates include TikTok's partnership with Tokopedia, EdgePoint Infrastructure's US$750m sale-and-leaseback of more than 4,200 Indosat telecommunications towers, CPPIB's 45% acquisition of PT Lintas Marga Sedaya, and Farallon/Temasek/SCB's Series D, E and F investments into Gojek. Distribution is relationship-driven via direct enterprise sales, referrals, and Linklaters-coordinated cross-border coverage, with regional coordination through Linklaters Singapore Pte Ltd. The firm is privately held with no public listing, no disclosed financials, and no external funding history.
