Awin Tavakoli

With more than 20 years of international career – in sports, real estate, statistics, banking and law – Awin broke out of her corporate job 3 years ago to become an entrepreneur. Currently, Awin runs her own advisory firm in Zurich, where she helps business owners protect and grow their businesses by providing them with tailored contracts, risk mitigation strategies, and out of court dispute resolution services. Awin is also a member of the Advisory Board of World Litigation Forum running legal conferences for lawyers and professionals all around the world.
Awin’s mission is to make law accessible and understandable for others. As a pioneer in change and innovation, she has been disrupting the traditional legal industry by creating a unique business model out of her knowledge in mathematics and logic, and her skills in risk mitigation and law. Her today’s distinctive working style is however, rooted in her first encounter with the judiciary as a child in a kidnapping incident during the Iran-Iraq war. The dramatic experience made her develop a special attitude towards injustice and the false perception of winning in court trials.
Born and raised as a kurd in Tehran, Iran, she was considered a minority in her own hometown. Today, as the voice of her industry and the messenger for change and diversity,
Awin uses her voice to inspire others by spreading her story and her message on international stages. She has already spoken in 4 different continents and shared stage with renowned leaders and professionals such as Randi Zuckerberg, Kevin Harrington, Hugh Hilton, Dr. Phil, George Ross and Moira Forbes.
Awin’s vision is to create a world without biases and boundaries, where no one is being isolated or excluded because of cultural, ethnic and historical heritage.
