Founder, ND Law
Nadia Dridi is a lawyer registered at the Paris Bar, specialised in international commercial and investment arbitration, with experience acquired within leading international law firms in Paris and Asia, and through sustained involvement in complex, high-value disputes at the highest level of international practice.
Her work encompasses major commercial and investment arbitration proceedings conducted under the principal institutional frameworks, including the ICC, ICSID, UNCITRAL, LCIA and SIAC, involving States, State-owned entities, multinational corporations and private actors across Europe, the MENA region and Asia. She has acted in matters where legal analysis is inseparable from political sensitivity, institutional constraints and strategic positioning.
Her practice is grounded in a rigorous command of public and private international law, combined with a deep understanding of how disputes unfold in practice within governmental, corporate and cross-border environments.
She has extensive experience across sectors that routinely generate complex international disputes, including construction and large-scale infrastructure projects, telecommunications, and energy, including oil and gas.
What distinguishes her approach is her ability to operate at the intersection of law, strategy and context. She brings to each matter a capacity to translate a client's institutional, commercial and cultural realities into effective arbitral advocacy, ensuring that these dimensions are not only understood, but meaningfully integrated into the conduct of the dispute.

An approach built on a trusted international network of partners
The practice operates on the basis that no lawyer, no firm, is expert in everything. Effective dispute resolution requires forming teams adapted to the actual needs of a specific case — its legal complexity, subject-matter, jurisdictional context and strategic requirements.
This approach allows clients to benefit not only from legal excellence, but from targeted expertise across all para-arbitral dimensions of a case, including negotiation strategy, treaty interpretation, technical issues and award enforcement.
