Ariane Ordoobadi

Ariane is a paralegal at Farore Law. She holds a dual degree in finance and international relations from the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League institution, and a master’s degree from the University of Cambridge. In 2019, after two years working in finance, Ariane redirected her focus to law, completing the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) and the Bar course.

Ariane has experience in employment and discrimination law which she gained whilst working at a Law Centre. There she advised clients on cases involving discrimination, unfair dismissal, and the working time regulations. Recently she successfully represented a client in a disability discrimination claim against her employer, securing a favourable settlement.

Ariane is also experienced in public law and has worked on judicial review challenges related to education, asylum support, community care, and housing law.

Before transitioning into law, Ariane worked in equity research at a global investment bank. In this role, she built sophisticated financial models to analyse short- and mid-term return on sector-specific stocks, experience which helped her develop strong quantitative and qualitative analysis skills. She authored in-depth company earning reports, industry think-pieces and sector outlooks, delivering actionable investment recommendations to institutional clients such as hedge funds and asset managers. Her role involved regular engagement with senior executives and the investor relations teams, experience which refined her ability to communicate effectively with high-level professionals. This background gives her unique insight into the financial sector, which she leverages to support individuals and companies in complex, high-value employment disputes.

Ariane speaks multiple languages including fluent French and Farsi, intermediate Mandarin, and conversational Japanese.
