Meet Our Team
Cavin R. Manuputty, S.Hum., M.Si
We hold that true mastery of laws and regulations and the capacity to deploy them effectively in safeguarding clients’ interests is significantly enhanced when informed by rigorous cross disciplinary perspectives and intellectual breadth.
This imperative has grown increasingly salient in light of evolving geopolitical dynamics, which exert a profound influence on domestic affairs, regulatory development, security frameworks, and law enforcement practices.
In recognition of these demands, we have appointed Cavin as Strategic Counsel, with the objective of reinforcing a holistic and forward looking approach to the protection of our clients’ interests.
Cavin is a graduate of the University of Indonesia. He began his professional career as a journalist, before further refining and expanding his analytical acumen through advanced study at the School of Strategic and Global Studies, University of Indonesia, specialising in Study of Strategic Intelligence.
With this distinguished background, Cavin contributes a nuanced cross disciplinary perspective and a sophisticated strategic outlook, thereby enriching the collective expertise of our firm.
