ABOUT 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.

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.
