Career

Winnie Yamashita Rolindrawan joined SSEK in 2007 and has represented major domestic firms and multinational companies in a variety of transactions.

Winnie advises clients on all aspects of fintech and payment systems (including e-money, remittances, payment gateways and switching), from obtaining the relevant licenses to cross-border fintech M&A transactions and navigating complex regulatory, legal and commercial challenges to ensure compliance with the relevant fintech and payment system regulations of Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK) and central bank (Bank Indonesia).

In the healthcare sector, Winnie has represented pharmaceutical companies, including manufacturers and distributors, in providing practical solutions for their day-to-day operations, corporate and commercial contracts, and specific regulatory issues.

Prior to joining SSEK, Winnie worked at another prominent corporate law firm in Jakarta, where she was involved in various capital market transactions. She helped handle several debt restructuring projects involving the Indonesian Bank Restructuring Agency (IBRA), an independent government agency established in response to the Indonesian financial crisis.

Winnie was also an associate procurement expert for an Asian Development Bank-Indonesian Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas) project, where she developed and drafted model national procurement documents.

Winnie spent her childhood in Hamburg and speaks German in addition to English and her native Indonesian.
