Welcoming the promotion of our dynamic duo of Dhea Gita Pramesti and Ajeng Ayuningtyas as Counsels of UMBRA – Strategic Legal Solutions.

Oktavinanda and Kirana Sastrawijaya from our M&A, Projects & Infrastructure Practice Group!

With more than a decade of experience, Dhea has been closely involved in some of the largest and most sophisticated national and cross-border transactions in the power, energy, and technology, media, and telecommunication (TMT) sectors. Her multitude of experiences includes advising PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Persero) in the IDR53 trillion spin-off of the Indihome retail internet business to Telkomsel, PT PLN (Persero) in the restructuring of its payment gateway system involving simultaneous negotiations with more than 50 financial institutions covering more than 90 million customers of PLN in compliance with the latest data privacy law, and PT Indo Raya Tenaga in the project financing and structuring of hybrid securities for US$3.3 billion power plant project.

She received her LLM from the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School in 2021, specializing in corporate law and governance, and is acknowledged as one of Indonesia’s 2024 Rising Star Lawyers by Asian Legal Business, being one of the youngest legal professionals featured in that year. Her inclusion in the Rising Star List underscores her outstanding performance, earning acclaim and commendations from clients who recognize her exemplary work.

Ajeng Ayuningtyas (Ajeng) obtained her law degree from Universitas Gadjah Mada with cum laude honor and was one of the most outstanding students in her class. As one of the youngest lawyer to be appointed as a Counsel at UMBRA, Ajeng has been trusted to handle some of UMBRA’s most complex M&A and Restructuring deals in the power, energy, infrastructure, and financial institution sectors, including the acquisition of a 300MW power plant asset for the supply of electricity in the Rokan Oil Block by PT PLN (Persero), the issuance of Sukuk for the purpose of debt restructuring by one of the prominent state-owned company subsidiaries, and the development of Indonesia’s Energy Transition Program for retiring coal power plants in Indonesia, demonstrating our innovative thinking in bridging strategic business goals with the complex network of regulations and multiple stakeholders.

The two of them truly represent the energy, passion, and dedication of our award-winning M&A practice in solving our clients’ toughest challenges and getting deals done for them, and we are excited to see how they will bring MAFG to new heights in the competitive Indonesian legal industry. The sky is the limit!
