PROFILE

 

Arminta is an Associate at Makes & Partners Law Firm, where she focuses on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), capital markets, general corporate matters, and real estate transactions. Her practice is distinguished by a strong transactional foundation supported by deep industry knowledge, particularly in real estate and property-driven transactions

 

She began her career predominantly in M&A and capital markets, developing strong capabilities in complex legal due diligence, especially for transactions involving real estate assets and regulated entities. Arminta regularly conducts detailed reviews of corporate structures, land and property documentation, licensing regimes, contractual arrangements, and regulatory compliance, enabling transaction teams to identify and address execution risks early. 

 

Building on this foundation, she has expanded her practice to include corporate governance and post-transaction compliance work, including the strategic preparation of internal governance “white books” for regulated entities and competition law compliance arising from M&A transactions. This end-to-end capability allows her to support clients across the full transaction lifecycle – from acquisition and diligence through to regulatory alignment and governance implementation. 

 

In addition to her practice, Arminta has been part of the teaching team for the international program at the Faculty of Law, Universitas Indonesia since 2023.
