This International Women’s Day, I thank mentors who supported my #arbitration career and fight for gender equality and commit to pay it forward. I commit to paying that forward by mentoring female arbitration practitioners and #arbitrators on both navigating barriers to women and enhancing their arbitration knowledge, as a proud member of ArbitralWomen’s Advisory Council and proponent of #DiversityInLaw generally. For example, it was a pleasure yesterday to share my knowledge about the benefits of mock arbitrations and provide suggestions on how mocks may be maximized to prepare a case for hearing or optimize preparation of a memorial or Kaplan opening to a group of female lawyers in India through the Arbitration Pledge India Chapter on Friday, March 7, 2025 in connection with honoring #IWD2025. Knowledge sharing and mentoring women are just two of the many ways to #AccelerateAction — and I thoroughly enjoy doing it! Thank you to the Members of the Board of ArbitralWomen for the past 30+ years (!!!) for your leadership in promoting gender equality and showcasing the talent and merit of very accomplished women in dispute resolution across the globe. Thank you to ArbitralWomen co-founders Louise Barrington, JD, LLM, FCIArb and Mirèze PHILIPPE for their vision and dedication to launch an organisation dedicated to promoting underrepresented talented women and diversity generally in dispute resolution 🙏. Happy International Women’s Day 2025!

This year for INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY (MARCH 8), we are speaking with ArbitralWomen members about their journey in arbitration and the efforts they are taking to #AccelerateAction. Sara Koleilat-Aranjo and Eliana Baraldi share their advice for women in arbitration and tell us about her work to promote gender diversity. #IWD2025 #ArbitralWomenAccelerateAction

Here's to competent women. May we know them. May we be them. May we APPOINT them. As we celebrate International Women's Day, in the current political landscape, it becomes clear that our work at ArbitralWomen and YAWP - Young ArbitralWomen Practitioners in promoting gender diversity and inclusion in arbitration is as vital as ever. Let us use this day not just to reflect but to take action - mentoring, advocating, and ensuring that the conversation on diversity translates into real opportunities and impact!

Today, we celebrate International Women's Day! This year, I commit to sponsoring and organizing a diversity initiative/event that supports women’s advancement in dispute resolution across various jurisdictions. Meaningful change happens when we take action, and together, we can #AccelerateAction for gender equality. A special thanks to ArbitralWomen and their past and present board members for their unwavering dedication to promoting diversity, mentorship, and inclusion in our field. Your efforts continue to inspire and drive real progress. I am also grateful for the incredible colleagues—women and men—at Hogan Lovells, whose commitment to equity, mentorship, and inclusion helps drive positive change in our firm and profession. Let’s keep pushing for a more inclusive future!

As we mark International Women's Day, let us not take anything for granted. Women's rights are under threat in many parts of the world and advancing the cause of gender equality is ever more urgent. I am proud of the many women in #internationaldisputeresolution that have changed the narrative and the way of practising law, and of ArbitralWomen's role in empowering many women in the field. I pledge to continue playing my part in that, by mentoring, appointing and promoting women practitioners whenever I can. #iwd2025

On International Women's Day 2025 I am grateful for all of the powerful women I have the pleasure and honour to work with, whether at the Vienna International Arbitral Centre of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (VIAC) Secretariat or Board as well as on the ArbitralWomen Board! Here’s to powerful women - may powerful women empower women! This International Women’s Day, I commit to proactively highlight the lack of diversity in arbitrator appointments in international arbitration! Let’s not sit back and be content with gender parity in institutional appointments, let’s take a closer look at the types of appointments women receive specifically the complexity and the amount in dispute in those cases! Together, let’s #AccelerateAction for gender equality! @ArbitralWomen #ArbitralWomenAccelerateAction #IWD2025 #ChallengetoAccelerate

Happy International Women's Day 2025 to all members, friends, and supporters of YAWP - Young ArbitralWomen Practitioners and ArbitralWomen! May today remind us to celebrate, support and encourage women in #internationalarbitration and beyond, today and every day. Special shout out to the members of the YAWP - Young ArbitralWomen Practitioners Steeeing Committee for their work in uplifting young women in the field to #accelerateaction.

Honoring the women who challenge norms, lift others up, and redefine success I pledge to champion a profession where #merit speaks louder than bias. Where no one sees an opportunity to pit women against one another. Where being a primary caregiver doesn’t mean missing out—it means redefining #success on our own terms. But I need your help. At ArbitralWomen, empowering women isn’t an afterthought—it’s the standard. No more “we couldn’t find a woman for that job, that hearing, that panel, to #lead, to take charge, to testify, to arbitrate, to provide #expert opinion, to become an #equitypartner” excuses—our #ArbitralWomen network is full of rockstars (and unicorns 🦄 !) ready to lead the conversation. Women in arbitration (and everywhere, really) are often held to higher standards, tested, questioned, and overlooked—even when their track record speaks for itself. But we can change that. We need senior leaders—both men and women, especially those in decision-making roles—to step up. Open doors. Amplify voices. Support the next generation. A profession that reflects real-world talent fosters #trust, strengthens decision-making, and ensures justice isn’t just delivered—it’s seen to be delivered. To all those—men and women—who have backed me, opened doors, and pushed for progress, thank you. Now, let’s make sure every #arbitration panel, #boardroom, and #leadership table reflects the talent that is out there. Because at the end of the day, the best person for the job isn’t always the most obvious choice. #LeadershipMatters #InclusiveOpportunities #AdvancingTalent #Arbitration #RepresentationMatters Women's Initiative Network of Reed Smith, Reed Smith Global Commercial Disputes Group, Arbitration Pledge, Equal Representation for Expert Witnesses, YAWP - Young ArbitralWomen Practitioners International Women's Day 2025
