Hannah Sharp
Partner

Hannah is a partner in RK’s Dispute Resolution Group, specialising in financial services disputes and commercial litigation, both domestic and cross-border.

Hannah has significant experience of acting for banks (investment and retail) and other financial institutions, corporates and ultra high net worth individuals on a broad range of complex disputes. Typical instructions include litigation relating to derivatives and other financial products, mis-selling claims, contractual disputes, claims in relation to fraud and asset recovery, joint venture / shareholder disputes and claims with an anti-money laundering angle. Although the majority of Hannah’s work involves claims in the English High Court, she also has experience of mediation, international arbitration, appeals, Upper Tribunal proceedings and BVI High Court proceedings, as well as coordinating related proceedings across several jurisdictions.

In addition, Hannah advises on contentious regulatory matters, including representing clients facing FCA enforcement action, responding to information requests from overseas regulators and conducting internal investigations.

Hannah qualified as a solicitor in 2006, and became a solicitor advocate in 2012. She has spent time on secondment at two major banks.

Hannah is recognised in The Legal 500, UK edition (2025) as a Next Generation Partner, with clients commenting that “Hannah Sharp is excellent – clever, careful, incisive, and a good team leader who inspires confidence in her clients”. In previous years, clients remarked that “Hannah Sharp is particularly good. She is an exceptional lawyer – a great analyst of complex material, who pays fine attention to detail, which comes out in the quality of her work product. She is also an excellent team player”. She has also been described in Legal 500 as “an excellent commercial litigation lawyer. She is hands on, across the detail, and extremely responsive” and “a partner who stands out as commercially savvy, very intelligent, and with a great instinct for points that will work (or not)”.
