Emilie Pardoen
"I’m truly honoured to serve as the Dutch VIAC Ambassador. With part of my roots in Vienna, I feel a deep personal connection to Vienna and to VIAC’s mission. Positioned at the heart of Europe, VIAC plays a unique role in connecting East and West—offering a trusted platform for high-quality international arbitration. VIAC's bridge-building capacity brings real added value to the strong arbitration tradition the Netherlands has developed over the years, and I’m excited to help strengthen those ties."
Emilie is a partner at Avizor Advocates and Arbitrators, a Dutch boutique law firm specialising in international arbitration and dispute resolution. She acts as (co-)counsel in domestic and international arbitration proceedings, and represents clients before the Dutch courts in corporate and commercial disputes.
Before entering private practice, Emilie worked at a leading litigation funder, gaining experience in asset tracing and the global enforcement of arbitral awards—expertise she continues to apply in her current work.
