Melati Wijaya
Partner
Melati leads the firm's employment and regulatory compliance practice, advising employers through terminations, industrial relations disputes before the PHI, and the licensing maze new businesses face under Indonesia's OSS regime. She joined CPA Law Firm as a partner in 2021 after nine years as in-house employment counsel for a multinational manufacturer — an experience that gave her a client's-eye view of what businesses actually need from outside counsel: clear risk grading, not just legal citations. She is a frequent speaker at HR and compliance forums in Jakarta.
