Professional Profile

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 practice includes representation in major commercial and investment arbitration proceedings conducted under the arbitration rules of leading institutions, including the ICC, ICSID, LCIA and SIAC, as well as under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules. She has also acted in treaty-based arbitrations initiated under the investment agreement of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

She has advised and representated States, State-owned entities, multinational corporations and private actors across Europe, the MENA region, Africa and Asia, and have required legal analysis closely intertwined with political sensitivity, institutional constraints and strategic considerations.

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.
