As part of ArbitralWomen’s (AW’s) ongoing efforts to strengthen member engagement and enhance its global visibility, AW has launched a new initiative to appoint Country Representatives (CRs). This initiative responds to growing interest from Members worldwide who are keen to contribute more actively to AW’s mission at the local level.

We are pleased to announce the appointment of seven CRs for the 2026–2027 term listed in alphabetical order: 

1. Kathrin Asschenfeldt, Counsel and Arbitrator, Partner, Baumann Resolving Disputes, Hamburg (Germany)
2. Surabhi Dua, Senior Director, Economic and Financial Consulting FTI Consulting, Mumbai (India)
3. Alexandra Einfeld, Independent Tribunal Secretary, Sydney (Australia)
4. Izabella Prusskaya, International Disputes Counsel, Moscow (Russia)
5. Karolina Rozycka, Partner, Clifford Chance, Paris (France)
6. Tara Singh, Senior Managing Director FTI Consulting, Toronto (Canada)
7. Aline Tanielian, Lawyer and Arbitrator, Eptalex-Aziz Torbey Law Firm, Beirut (Lebanon)

We congratulate the appointed CRs on their selection and thank them in advance for their commitment to AW.

The CRs’ programme forms part of AW’s ongoing commitment to enhance Member engagement and expanding global participation. The programme has been developed to broaden AW’s network of female practitioners in dispute resolution, particularly those based in underrepresented regions and countries, while promoting their achievements and empowering committed AW Members to serve as visible AW representatives in their jurisdictions. 

The CRs will work alongside, and under the guidance of, AW Board Directors, who will oversee and support the CRs initiatives throughout the term. 

We once again congratulate our CRs and look forward to their contributions in advancing AW’s mission and strengthening its global presence.
