I am leading the development of AI-powered legal chatbots that provide free, instant access to Pakistan\\u2019s laws. These tools are designed in plain language, enabling people who cannot afford legal counsel to understand their rights and seek remedies without barriers.<\\\/p>\\r\\n<p data-start=\\\"937\\\" data-end=\\\"1346\\\">Recognizing that legal empowerment requires more than information, I am also spearheading the creation of a digital platform at ICADRP (International Centre for ADR Practice) to connect individuals with alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, pro bono counsel, and rapid mediation options. This initiative aims to reduce case backlog and provide communities with faster, less costly paths to justice.<\\\/p>\\r\\n<p data-start=\\\"1348\\\" data-end=\\\"1716\\\">In addition to these systemic contributions, I invest in the next generation of legal professionals. I organize and mentor students in law moot competitions, fostering advocacy skills, critical thinking, and ethical practice. These events not only strengthen legal education but also inspire young lawyers to approach justice delivery creatively and inclusively.<\\\/p>\\r\\n<p data-start=\\\"1718\\\" data-end=\\\"2088\\\">By leveraging technology, education, and policy frameworks, I am building scalable solutions that democratize access to justice in Pakistan and set a replicable model for other jurisdictions.<\\\/p>\\r\\n<p data-start=\\\"2090\\\" data-end=\\\"2433\\\">This nomination represents not just my professional journey but my belief that justice must be inclusive, accessible, and technology-enabled.

They demonstrate my commitment to strengthening dispute resolution mechanisms and positioning Pakistan as a serious player in international arbitration.<\\\/p>\",\"innovation\":\"<p data-start=\\\"182\\\" data-end=\\\"405\\\">What sets my work apart is the fusion of legal innovation, technology, and systemic reform \\u2014 creating solutions that are not just theoretical, but practical, scalable, and transformative for Pakistan\\u2019s justice sector.<\\\/p>\\r\\n<p data-start=\\\"407\\\" data-end=\\\"968\\\">Unlike traditional legal practice that focuses primarily on courtroom advocacy, my strategy centers on institutional change and user-centered design. Through ICADRP, I am pioneering a model that integrates technology-driven tools \\u2014 including AI-powered legal chatbots providing free access to Pakistan\\u2019s laws \\u2014 with in-person ADR services. This approach bridges the gap between legal literacy and legal remedy, empowering women, children, and marginalized communities to understand and assert their rights before a dispute escalates to litigation.<\\\/p>\\r\\n<p data-start=\\\"970\\\" data-end=\\\"1302\\\">I also emphasize capacity-building as a multiplier of impact. By training hundreds of lawyers, judges, and mediators through globally recognized 40-hour programs, I am not only resolving today\\u2019s disputes but seeding a generation of professionals equipped to deliver fair, efficient, and accessible dispute resolution tomorrow.<\\\/p>\\r\\n<p data-start=\\\"1304\\\" data-end=\\\"1716\\\">My work further stands out for its institutionalization of ADR \\u2014 moving beyond ad hoc solutions to create a permanent infrastructure for mediation and arbitration centers. This includes building government partnerships, setting procedural standards, and creating pathways for court referrals, which collectively contribute to reducing judicial backlog and restoring public confidence in the justice system.<\\\/p>\\r\\n<p data-start=\\\"1718\\\" data-end=\\\"2011\\\">Finally, I have brought global visibility to Pakistan\\u2019s dispute resolution capacity by organizing the country\\u2019s first participation in the FDI International Arbitration Moot, ensuring that Pakistani law students and institutions are part of the global dialogue on investment arbitration.<\\\/p>\\r\\n<p data-start=\\\"2013\\\" data-end=\\\"2219\\\">In sum, my differentiation lies in combining technology, education, and institution-building into a cohesive strategy that reimagines justice delivery, making it faster, fairer, and accessible to all.<\\\/p>\",\"testimonials\":\"LINKEDIN PAGE: https:\\\/\\\/www.linkedin.com\\\/in\\\/dr-nudrat-e-piracha-6835ab27\\\/\\r\\n\\r\\nBOOK LAUNCH: https:\\\/\\\/www.law.gwu.edu\\\/book-launch-toward-uniformly-accepted-principles-interpreting-mfn-clauses-striking-balance\\r\\n\\r\\nNEWS ABOUT FIRST WOMEN TO QUALIFY AS SJD https:\\\/\\\/www.thenews.com.pk\\\/latest\\\/681514-dr-nudrat-e-piracha-becomes-first-female-pakistani-lawyer-to-earn-sjd\\r\\n\\r\\nhttps:\\\/\\\/www.law.gwu.edu\\\/nudrat-piracha-sjd-%E2%80%9920-makes-her-mark-international-investment-arbitration\\r\\n\\r\\nSPEAKER AT HARVARD: https:\\\/\\\/orgs.law.harvard.edu\\\/hialsa\\\/category\\\/uncategorized\\\/\\r\\n\\r\\nBEST ADR LAWYER AWARD BY MINISTRY OF LAW, BRITISH AND AUSTRALIAN HIGH COMMISSIONS AND WOMEN IN LAW INITIATIVE: https:\\\/\\\/dnanews.com.pk\\\/dr-nudrat-wins-adr-lawyer-award\\\/\\r\\n\\r\\nSENIOR JAMS FELLOWSHIP PAGE: https:\\\/\\\/weinsteininternational.org\\\/pakistan\\\/nudrat-e-piracha-3\\\/\\r\\n\\r\\nSPEAKER AT HARVARD: https:\\\/\\\/orgs.law.harvard.edu\\\/hialsa\\\/conference\\\/welcome-to-the-2021-harvard-international-arbitration-conference\\\/conference-schedule-and-program\\\/panel-3-investment-protection-and-international-arbitration-in-emerging-markets-in-a-pandemic-ridden-world\\\/\\r\\n\\r\\nSPEAKER AT ICSID\\\/ASIL: https:\\\/\\\/www.asil.org\\\/event\\\/how-covid-19-impacting-investment-arbitration\\r\\n\\r\\nSPEAKER AT HARVARD: https:\\\/\\\/orgs.law.harvard.edu\\\/hialsa\\\/\\r\\n\\r\\nICSID PANELIST: https:\\\/\\\/icsid.worldbank.org\\\/sites\\\/default\\\/files\\\/arbitrators\\\/2021-03\\\/CV_Piracha.pdf https:\\\/\\\/icsid.worldbank.org\\\/about\\\/arbitrators-conciliators\\\/database-of-icsid-panels\\r\\nAuthor TDM https:\\\/\\\/www.transnational-dispute-management.com\\\/about-author-a-z-profile.asp?key=3625\\r\\n\\r\\nFulbright Leader and Luminaries https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=FsHvx-CgYss\\r\\nPANELIST ADGM https:\\\/\\\/www.adgm.com\\\/arbitrationcentre\\\/arbitration\\\/arbitration-panel\\\/nudrat-piracha\\r\\nUSEFP spotlight alumni: http:\\\/\\\/newsletter.usefp.org\\\/2022\\\/04\\\/spotlight-alum-dr-nudrat-piracha\\\/\\r\\n\\r\\nGW ALUMNI HIGHLIGHT: https:\\\/\\\/law9.drupal.gwu.edu\\\/gw-law-alum-nudrat-piracha-wins-award-international-arbitration-work\\r\\nMEDIATION HUB: MEMBER https:\\\/\\\/mediationhub.org\\\/members\\\/nudratpirachagmail-com\\\/\\r\\nTREASURER International law association Pakistan: https:\\\/\\\/www.ila-hq.org\\\/en_GB\\\/branches\\\/pakistan\\r\\nCo-chair DC women bar association\\r\\nAuthor of Pakistan country  report for ICCA\\r\\n\\u2022\\tExpeditious dispensation of Justice: ADR the way forward?

This nomination represents not only a recognition of my professional trajectory, but also an opportunity to share a story of progress, excellence, and legal transformation forged within the unique context of <strong>Costa Rica<\\\/strong>\\u2014a country where the determination and talent of women in the legal profession persist in an environment that has historically favored male figures.\\r\\n\\r\\nFrom the outset of my career, I have faced the challenges inherent in being a young woman in a traditionally male-dominated field, where our potential is often overlooked, and our judgment underestimated. My path was not paved by a well-known surname in Costa Rica; rather, my background\\u2014including a European mother\\u2014posed additional barriers to establishing myself within the Costa Rican legal landscape, where opportunities were seldom made easy. I have learned what it means to make double the effort to prove my worth, to endure professional envy and objectification, and to experience the dismissal of my legal opinions due to the egos of others. Yet each obstacle has served as a catalyst for growth. In <strong>oral proceedings<\\\/strong>, often conducted in overwhelmingly male settings where female competence was questioned, I secured favorable verdicts and cost awards against opposing parties\\u2014underscoring that while gender is a characteristic, it is sound legal reasoning that ultimately prevails.\\r\\n\\r\\nMy professional journey has been far from linear. Rather, it has been a steady ascent, forged in resilience and unwavering conviction. Along this path, I have found support and collaboration not only from women but also from many male colleagues, challenging prevailing gender-based stereotypes. My experience has shown that <strong>sexist behavior is not exclusive to one gender<\\\/strong>, and oftentimes, it originates from women themselves.\\r\\n\\r\\nIn a field where my age or academic background\\u2014different from traditionally dominant universities\\u2014have occasionally raised doubts, my commitment to thorough research, rigorous reading, and expert consultation has always enabled me to substantiate my legal arguments with precision. In traditionally male-centered industries such as <strong>banana and coffee production<\\\/strong>, I have not only emerged but consolidated my professional standing. During my tenure at <strong>CORBANA (National Banana Corporation)<\\\/strong>, a key sector institution, my performance was marked by excellence. While I encountered individuals who supported my work unconditionally, I also faced others who sought to obstruct my path. Today, as a <strong>legal advisor within the Legal Department of the Costa Rican Coffee Institute (ICAFE)<\\\/strong>, I continue to demonstrate that <strong>professional merit transcends both gender and historical bias<\\\/strong>. Reputable attorneys\\u2014both domestic and international\\u2014have expressed admiration for my preparation and drive, affirming that legal excellence is measured by performance, not by one\\u2019s alma mater or family name. Their encouragement has been a source of great motivation, as they attest that I have surpassed the expectations of many.\",\"accomplishments\":\"<strong>Academic and Professional Excellence<\\\/strong>\\r\\n\\r\\n<strong>Excellence has been my enduring standard.<\\\/strong> My academic background includes a Master\\u2019s Degree in Economic Criminal Law obtained through an OAS scholarship, along with postgraduate specializations in <strong>Tax Practice and Advisory<\\\/strong> and <strong>Notarial and Registry Law<\\\/strong>. Currently, I provide legal counsel at ICAFE and previously served as an assistant attorney at CORBANA, where I managed <strong>72 complex agrarian case files<\\\/strong>, represented the Corporation in multiple judicial proceedings and enforcement actions, and consistently adhered to strict deadlines. My commitment to excellence also led me to author the book <em>\\u201cThe Implementation of Criminal Compliance in the Latin Notarial Function\\u201d<\\\/em> (published in Argentina and Peru), and co-author <em>\\u201cMoney Laundering Prevention in the Notarial Function,\\u201d<\\\/em> both works included in prestigious international legal libraries.\\r\\n\\r\\nMy contributions to legal scholarship and participation as a speaker in conferences in <strong>Spain, Uruguay, and Colombia<\\\/strong> reflect my impact on the global legal community, challenging any presumption that a legal professional from a developing country like Costa Rica is less capable.\\r\\n\\r\\n<strong>Legal Transformation and Innovation<\\\/strong>\\r\\n\\r\\nMy contributions to legal transformation are focused on <strong>ethics, transparency, and innovation<\\\/strong>. I am accredited as a <strong>Compliance Officer<\\\/strong> by the <strong>World Compliance Association<\\\/strong> and serve on the <strong>Compliance Committee of the Costa Rican Bar Association<\\\/strong>, demonstrating my ongoing dedication to raising professional standards. My essay titled <em>\\u201cCompliance as Evidentiary Shield: Enhancing Judicial Decision-Making in Agrarian Conflicts\\u201d<\\\/em>, housed in the Library of the Costa Rican Judiciary, exemplifies my innovative approach to strengthening legal certainty and sound decision-making.\\r\\n\\r\\nAs a <strong>part-time university lecturer in Notarial Law<\\\/strong>, I am actively shaping the next generation of legal professionals, instilling in them the values of <strong>ethics, integrity<\\\/strong>, and adaptability in a constantly evolving legal world.\\r\\n\\r\\n<strong>Overcoming Challenges and Promoting Equity<\\\/strong>\\r\\n\\r\\nThis journey has not been free of gender-based challenges, including <strong>envy (predominantly from women, and at times, men)<\\\/strong>, the underestimation of my professional capabilities during meetings\\u2014often reduced to personal commentary while disregarding my legal insights\\u2014and the ongoing need to assert my intellectual merit. Nonetheless, I have also encountered <strong>environments of mutual support among women<\\\/strong>, and leadership that has trusted and empowered me, allowing for meaningful professional growth.\\r\\n\\r\\nIt is this spirit of <strong>collaboration and resilience<\\\/strong>, along with my deep conviction that <strong>talent knows no gender<\\\/strong>, which drives my continued advocacy for equitable spaces and inspires me to encourage other women to pursue legal excellence.\\r\\n\\r\\n<strong>Complex Agrarian Case Management<\\\/strong>\\r\\n\\r\\nManaged <strong>72 ordinary agrarian case files<\\\/strong> involving disputes over real estate and indigenous lands, acting as <strong>special judicial attorney (apoderada especial judicial)<\\\/strong> for <strong>CORBANA<\\\/strong> in multiple legal proceedings, including <strong>hearings, witness interrogations<\\\/strong>, and <strong>judicial site inspections<\\\/strong> in <strong>Sixaola, Lim\\u00f3n<\\\/strong>, during the years <strong>2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025<\\\/strong>.

I consider this innovative within an environment where regulation and good governance are increasingly crucial. Furthermore, my book, \\\\\\\"The Implementation of Criminal Compliance in Latin Notarial Practice\\\\\\\" , and my essay, \\\\\\\"Compliance as a Probative Shield: Safeguarding Judicial Decision-Making in Agrarian Conflicts\\\\\\\", showcase my strategic thinking and the application of innovative approaches to strengthen legal certainty.\\r\\n\\r\\n&nbsp;\\r\\n\\r\\n<strong>Impact in Traditional Sectors (Agriculture and Coffee):<\\\/strong> My experience at CORBANA (National Banana Corporation) and currently as legal advisor at ICAFE (Coffee Institute) represents a significant differentiation. These are historically entrenched sectors often perceived as \\\\\\\"masculine,\\\\\\\" where my leadership and success, such as managing 72 complex agrarian cases, demonstrate an innovative capacity to break barriers and add value in challenging environments.\\r\\n\\r\\n&nbsp;\\r\\n\\r\\n&nbsp;\\r\\n\\r\\n<strong>Global Academic and Doctrinal Contribution:<\\\/strong> Being a speaker at international conferences in Spain, Uruguay, and Colombia validates my impact on the global legal community and dispels mistrust regarding the professional quality of an attorney from a developing country. This highlights a clear differentiation in my international projection and influence on legal doctrine. My Master\\\\'s degree, obtained with an OAS scholarship , and the fact that my Master\\\\'s Final Project was published as a book and debated at the Bar Association underscore a strategy of academic excellence that translates into practical impact. Moreover, being cited as a doctrinal authority in theses in Mexico and Costa Rica emphasizes my influence and the recognition of my contributions to legal thought.\",\"testimonials\":\"Training of New Generations: My role as a substitute professor of Notarial Law at prestigious universities like ULACIT and Fidelitas differentiates me as a leader who not only applies knowledge but also transmits it, shaping future generations of lawyers and instilling in them the importance of ethics and adaptability.\\r\\nMedia Mentions:\\r\\n\\r\\nI have had the opportunity to participate in media, such as the 89.1 fm radio station\\\\'s program \\\\\\\"Abogado en tu casa\\\\\\\" (Lawyer at your Home), which demonstrates my ability to communicate legal topics to the general public.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\",\"categories\":\"[\\\"Leadership & Lifetime Excellence\\\",\\\"Woman Legal Leader of the Year\\\"]\",\"testimonial_files\":\"[{\\\"url\\\":\\\"https:\\\\\\\/\\\\\\\/woneglobal.org\\\\\\\/awards\\\\\\\/wp-content\\\\\\\/uploads\\\\\\\/2025\\\\\\\/07\\\\\\\/unnamed.jpg\\\",\\\"path\\\":\\\"\\\\\\\/homepages\\\\\\\/20\\\\\\\/d524541734\\\\\\\/htdocs\\\\\\\/womeninlaw\\\\\\\/wp-content\\\\\\\/uploads\\\\\\\/2025\\\\\\\/07\\\\\\\/unnamed.jpg\\\",\\\"type\\\":\\\"image\\\\\\\/jpeg\\\",\\\"name\\\":\\\"unnamed.jpg\\\",\\\"id\\\":12535}]\",\"supporting_documents\":\"\",\"declaration_accuracy\":\"1\",\"declaration_consent\":\"1\",\"declaration_understanding\":\"1\",\"submission_date\":\"2025-07-17 13:44:46\",\"updated_at\":\"2026-04-14 14:53:28\",\"status\":\"published\",\"average_rating\":\"2.4\",\"is_favorite\":\"0\",\"shortlisted_winner\":\"0\",\"shortlist_categories\":\"\",\"winner_category\":\"\",\"email_history\":\"\"},{\"id\":\"105\",\"user_id\":\"1\",\"award_category\":\"WOMEN IN LAW EXCELLENCE AWARD\",\"nominee_name\":\"Rie Tsuru\",\"nominated_by\":\"\",\"email\":\"e-oda@meilin-law.jp\",\"phone\":\"81 927361550\",\"country\":\"Japan\",\"city\":\"Fukagawa\",\"public_profile\":\"\",\"achievements\":\"<div class=\\\"brk-summary brk-font-heading\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"brk-summary brk-font-heading\\\">\\r\\n\\r\\nMS.

Initially, the company was focused on \\\\\\\\\\\\'on-demand\\\\\\\\\\\\' interim legal recruitment, providing an innovative solution for legal teams grappling with fluctuating workloads. Flex Legal empowered these teams to seamlessly match their workloads with their capacity, all whilst creating life-changing opportunities for ambitious law graduates eager to gain valuable legal work experience, as well as qualified lawyers seeking a better work\\\/life balance.\\r\\n\\r\\nAs Flex Legal continued to evolve, in 2021 Mary introduced the groundbreaking Flex Trainee scheme, an extraordinary social mobility initiative. This visionary programme was meticulously designed to support aspiring solicitors from underrepresented backgrounds to qualify in-house via the SQE. In doing so, Mary has not only expanded access to legal careers for many, but has also played a pivotal role in fostering diversity and inclusivity within the wider legal profession.\\r\\n\\r\\nIn the words of Flex Trainee, Nazrin: \\u2018Diversity and inclusion are not only key for individual success, but also for the progress of the whole profession.\\u2019\\r\\n\\r\\n<\\\/div>\\r\\n<\\\/div>\\r\\n<div class=\\\"rz-mod-listing rz-mod-listing-content\\\" data-type=\\\"content\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"rz-mod-content\\\">\\r\\n<h4>More Details<\\\/h4>\\r\\n<h3>Mary\\\\\\\\\\\\'s story:<\\\/h3>\\r\\nI remember walking around the city while I was doing the GDL and the LPC, desperate for work. Eventually, I managed to find work experience as a secretary for a shipping arbitrator, but it wasn\\u2019t easy to get there. Fast forward a few years and I was a qualified solicitor working in litigation. I was staring in the face of an imminent court deadline with forty huge bundles to make. I remember sitting at my desk and looking out of the window, and seeing a group of Kaplan law students exactly where I had been a few years ago.\\r\\n\\r\\nI knew from experience that those students would have jumped at the chance to get legal work experience, and I knew associates like myself were desperate for their help. Suddenly, the idea for Flex Legal was born.\\r\\n\\r\\nShortly after I met James, an experienced software developer, and we began working together on a tech platform that could connect law students to firms and in-house teams as efficiently as possible. We analysed what was taking too long in traditional recruitment, and how we could use tech to make it easier.\\r\\n\\r\\nFast forward several years and Flex Legal is an award-winning platform with a huge roster of clients including magic circle law firms and many large in-house legal teams. We have over 5,000 paralegals on our platform and have since expanded to offer lawyers on a flexible basis. We have very ambitious plans to help improve retention in the profession and ensure people can work as they want, when they want.\\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\n<\\\/div>\\r\\n<\\\/div>\",\"accomplishments\":\"\",\"innovation\":\"\",\"testimonials\":\"\",\"categories\":\"[\\\"Innovation & Trailblazing\\\",\\\"Trailblazer & Legal Innovator (Woman)\\\",\\\"Innovation & Trailblazing > Trailblazer & Legal Innovator (Woman)\\\"]\",\"testimonial_files\":\"[{\\\"url\\\":\\\"https:\\\\\\\/\\\\\\\/woneglobal.org\\\\\\\/awards\\\\\\\/wp-content\\\\\\\/uploads\\\\\\\/2025\\\\\\\/07\\\\\\\/fgsdcxb64yqhempl8nioavk3u5912trw-2.png\\\",\\\"path\\\":\\\"\\\\\\\/homepages\\\\\\\/20\\\\\\\/d524541734\\\\\\\/htdocs\\\\\\\/womeninlaw\\\\\\\/wp-content\\\\\\\/uploads\\\\\\\/2025\\\\\\\/07\\\\\\\/fgsdcxb64yqhempl8nioavk3u5912trw-2.png\\\",\\\"type\\\":\\\"image\\\\\\\/png\\\",\\\"name\\\":\\\"fgsdcxb64yqhempl8nioavk3u5912trw (2).png\\\",\\\"id\\\":12025},{\\\"url\\\":\\\"https:\\\\\\\/\\\\\\\/woneglobal.org\\\\\\\/awards\\\\\\\/wp-content\\\\\\\/uploads\\\\\\\/2025\\\\\\\/07\\\\\\\/fxdh4vsuyg76zrpm159aeqtbwkj3lc02-1920x1282-1.jpg\\\",\\\"path\\\":\\\"\\\\\\\/homepages\\\\\\\/20\\\\\\\/d524541734\\\\\\\/htdocs\\\\\\\/womeninlaw\\\\\\\/wp-content\\\\\\\/uploads\\\\\\\/2025\\\\\\\/07\\\\\\\/fxdh4vsuyg76zrpm159aeqtbwkj3lc02-1920x1282-1.jpg\\\",\\\"type\\\":\\\"image\\\\\\\/jpeg\\\",\\\"name\\\":\\\"fxdh4vsuyg76zrpm159aeqtbwkj3lc02-1920x1282 (1).jpg\\\",\\\"id\\\":12026}]\",\"supporting_documents\":\"[]\",\"declaration_accuracy\":\"0\",\"declaration_consent\":\"0\",\"declaration_understanding\":\"0\",\"submission_date\":\"2025-07-02 10:00:20\",\"updated_at\":\"2025-07-30 01:46:42\",\"status\":\"published\",\"average_rating\":\"0\",\"is_favorite\":\"0\",\"shortlisted_winner\":\"0\",\"shortlist_categories\":\"\",\"winner_category\":\"\",\"email_history\":\"\"},{\"id\":\"33\",\"user_id\":\"1\",\"award_category\":\"WOMEN IN LAW EXCELLENCE AWARD\",\"nominee_name\":\"Els REYNAERS KINI\",\"nominated_by\":\"\",\"email\":\"bhupender@mvkini.com\",\"phone\":\"xxxxxxxxxxxx\",\"country\":\"India\",\"city\":\"Mumbai\",\"public_profile\":\"https:\\\/\\\/linkedin.com\\\/in\\\/els-reynaers-6390817\",\"achievements\":\"<div class=\\\"rz-mod-listing rz-mod-listing-content\\\" data-type=\\\"content\\\">\\r\\n<div class=\\\"rz-mod-content\\\">\\r\\n\\r\\nI have law degrees from the Free University of Brussels, Belgium (magna cum laude), and the University of Delhi, India.

After having spent a semester in Boston (Massachusetts), she has obtained a Master Degree as Expert in Organization Management and Control Model (Italian Legislative Decree n. 231\\\/2001) and has recently completed the LLM International Commercial Law program with the University of Salford (Manchester).\\r\\n\\r\\nAfter having concluded the mandatory traineeship with different Italian law firms, Ilenia has been involved in representing Italian companies before the Italian civil courts and, mostly, in assisting them in every aspect of the international transactions.\\r\\n\\r\\nSince 2008, Ilenia has been providing assistance to her clients with specific focus on international contracts and commercial law, formation and structuring overseas subsidiaries or unincorporated joint venture, international tax issues, with main area of application in contract management of domestic\\\/international construction contracts.\\r\\n\\r\\nStarting from 2018, Ilenia has been involved in assisting a client in a multi-million euros construction project in Qatar, that escalated into a 350 million euros international arbitration (ICC). Said appointment required travelling to Qatar on a regular basis to assist and manage the client\\u2019s technical team directly on site and advise on legal issues.\\r\\n\\r\\nIlenia strongly considers that working with a multi-disciplinary as well as international team represents an essential condition to grant a first-level assistance to her clients, which is why she contributed, as founding member, to create an international professional association (Glawbus) with legal seat in Belgium, with several professionals from different jurisdictions, that share the same view in terms of professionalism and same values in term of professional ethics.\\r\\n\\r\\nIn fact, Ilenia deeply believes that professional ethics and fair approach towards the clients and their interests to be preserved represent a prerequisite that a professional person must embody and that shall prevail to any other motive, including the profit perspective.\\r\\n\\r\\nIn June 2022, Ilenia has joined Creative Women Platform as Chair for Italy, thanks to which she has had the opportunity to meet and proactively interact with wonderful women from different countries and backgrounds, sharing experiences, views and values.\\r\\n\\r\\nIlenia is also passionate about travel and art. In fact, she always tries to include in her trips (whether for business or leisure) some visit to museums or sites of artistic and cultural interest.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe personality that has always fascinated her is Frida Khalo, as an example of strength and sensitivity, who has been able to transform a personal tragedy, in a tumultuous historical context, into a series of art works with an extraordinary communicative power.\\r\\n\\r\\nIlenia firmly believes that the promotion of art at all levels is an essential action to promote beauty and disseminate grace in a very compromised general context. Moreover, she believes that art is an indispensable instrument to increase attention on topics of considerable social impact, in order to give voice to all those who would be destined to remain in the shadow.\",\"testimonials\":\"\",\"categories\":\"[\\\"Leadership & Lifetime Excellence\\\"]\",\"testimonial_files\":\"[{\\\"url\\\":\\\"https:\\\\\\\/\\\\\\\/woneglobal.org\\\\\\\/awards\\\\\\\/wp-content\\\\\\\/uploads\\\\\\\/2025\\\\\\\/07\\\\\\\/yarh8ust5dk7f1wicgmblozx39pje60n-e1698430746926.jpg\\\",\\\"path\\\":\\\"\\\\\\\/homepages\\\\\\\/20\\\\\\\/d524541734\\\\\\\/htdocs\\\\\\\/womeninlaw\\\\\\\/wp-content\\\\\\\/uploads\\\\\\\/2025\\\\\\\/07\\\\\\\/yarh8ust5dk7f1wicgmblozx39pje60n-e1698430746926.jpg\\\",\\\"type\\\":\\\"image\\\\\\\/jpeg\\\",\\\"name\\\":\\\"yarh8ust5dk7f1wicgmblozx39pje60n-e1698430746926.jpg\\\",\\\"id\\\":11978},{\\\"url\\\":\\\"https:\\\\\\\/\\\\\\\/woneglobal.org\\\\\\\/awards\\\\\\\/wp-content\\\\\\\/uploads\\\\\\\/2025\\\\\\\/07\\\\\\\/1z2ybcls6ad0q7owtxvfr94hjkemup3g-1920x1280-1.jpg\\\",\\\"path\\\":\\\"\\\\\\\/homepages\\\\\\\/20\\\\\\\/d524541734\\\\\\\/htdocs\\\\\\\/womeninlaw\\\\\\\/wp-content\\\\\\\/uploads\\\\\\\/2025\\\\\\\/07\\\\\\\/1z2ybcls6ad0q7owtxvfr94hjkemup3g-1920x1280-1.jpg\\\",\\\"type\\\":\\\"image\\\\\\\/jpeg\\\",\\\"name\\\":\\\"1z2ybcls6ad0q7owtxvfr94hjkemup3g-1920x1280.jpg\\\",\\\"id\\\":11979},{\\\"url\\\":\\\"https:\\\\\\\/\\\\\\\/woneglobal.org\\\\\\\/awards\\\\\\\/wp-content\\\\\\\/uploads\\\\\\\/2025\\\\\\\/07\\\\\\\/x49qbjifnk8zl6dh3wcp5g1eo702srmt-e1698430616215.jpg\\\",\\\"path\\\":\\\"\\\\\\\/homepages\\\\\\\/20\\\\\\\/d524541734\\\\\\\/htdocs\\\\\\\/womeninlaw\\\\\\\/wp-content\\\\\\\/uploads\\\\\\\/2025\\\\\\\/07\\\\\\\/x49qbjifnk8zl6dh3wcp5g1eo702srmt-e1698430616215.jpg\\\",\\\"type\\\":\\\"image\\\\\\\/jpeg\\\",\\\"name\\\":\\\"x49qbjifnk8zl6dh3wcp5g1eo702srmt-e1698430616215.jpg\\\",\\\"id\\\":11980}]\",\"supporting_documents\":null,\"declaration_accuracy\":\"1\",\"declaration_consent\":\"1\",\"declaration_understanding\":\"1\",\"submission_date\":\"2023-10-27 07:00:01\",\"updated_at\":\"2026-02-11 19:57:00\",\"status\":\"published\",\"average_rating\":\"2.6\",\"is_favorite\":\"0\",\"shortlisted_winner\":\"0\",\"shortlist_categories\":\"\",\"winner_category\":\"\",\"email_history\":\"\"},{\"id\":\"14\",\"user_id\":\"1\",\"award_category\":\"Women in Law Excellence Awards\",\"nominee_name\":\"Melisa Litvin\",\"nominated_by\":\"\",\"email\":\"Ml@lmlegales.com\",\"phone\":\"000\",\"country\":\"Argentina\",\"city\":\"Buena Esperanza\",\"public_profile\":\"https:\\\/\\\/linkedin.com\\\/in\\\/melisa-litvin-1243419\",\"achievements\":\"Melisa has a professional practice of years in the area of \\u200b\\u200bTechnology, Intellectual and Industrial Property.
