Hengki frequently acts for market-leading clients on their business-defining disputes across banking, retail, healthcare, manufacturing, oil and gas, fintech, telco and insurance industries. His diverse client base includes domestic and multinational banks, large State-Owned Enterprises, global companies, major local corporations and foreign institutional investors operating in Indonesia.
