Nicola Sharp

Spear’s Review

Partner and legal director at Rahman Ravelli, Nicola Sharp is well regarded in the white-collar crime legal community for her mental acuity, deep knowledge of the law and skill with complex cases.

She specialises in investment, mortgage and pension fraud, money laundering, bribery and corruption, and her practice often includes multi-jurisdiction investigations and a wide variety of commodities and securities. 

When asked about the complex nature of her work, she tells Spear’s: ‘I like the intricacy of it and the fact that it is not black and white or clear-cut. There’s a lot of investigation involved, and I really enjoy getting to the bottom of the issue.’

Both corporate and private clients appreciate her ability to conduct internal investigations and her admirable track record in high-profile cases concerning financial services markets, including actions brought by OLAF, the EU’s anti-fraud commission, in cases involving the alleged misuse of EU funds.
