Tiantai Law Firm has launched a Jakarta office, marking another significant step in its Southeast Asian expansion following the establishment of its Kuala Lumpur office.
“Using Jakarta as a strategic hub, Tiantai will gradually build a legal services network covering the major economies of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), providing integrated legal support for clients expanding their businesses across Southeast Asia,” the firm said in a press release.
The firm now operates 41 offices worldwide, including three overseas branches in Kuala Lumpur, Prague and Jakarta.
The Jakarta branch is headed by Rao Guodong, senior partner at the Shanghai office and partner in the international practice department. He has decades of experience in the high-tech sector, with practices spanning investment and financing transactions, M&A, domestic and overseas IPOs, bond issuances, digital compliance, intellectual property management and dispute resolution.
Ramzy Hilmyawan, Mesianti Tobing and Wang Ziwei serve as partners in the office. Hilmyawan focuses on corporate compliance and financial transactions. Tobing has extensive experience in energy and infrastructure, public-private partnerships, project finance and M&A restructurings. Wang specialises in international legal matters involving cross-border compliance, M&A restructurings and bank lending.
The office has obtained the qualifications and licences required to handle litigation, arbitration and non-contentious matters. It will focus on four core sectors, the digital economy, new energy, mining and manufacturing, while providing Chinese enterprises with end-to-end legal support covering market entry, company incorporation, compliance, M&A and dispute resolution.
Jakarta, the capital and largest city in Indonesia, is also where the Asean Secretariat is based. In recent years, DHH Law Firm (2025), Jingsh Law Firm (2025), DeHeng Law Offices (2024) and Yingke Law Firm (2024) are among Tiantai’s Chinese peers to establish offices in the city.
