A new generation of defence.
A criminal law firm built on one idea: exceptional, genuine representation should be within reach of anyone who needs it.




Founded in Manly. In court across NSW.
Karim + Nicol was founded by Nadia Karim and Carrie Nicol, two Northern Beaches locals who set out to build a new generation of criminal defence lawyers.
From our office in Manly we act for clients in every court across NSW. We are accomplished solicitor advocates, and when a matter calls for it we bring in leading barristers to build the best team for you.
Beyond criminal defence we act in traffic matters, AVOs, claims against police, and regulatory, professional disciplinary and quasi-criminal matters.
Our clients describe us in three words. We hold ourselves to them on every file.
- DependableWe explain every step and we are there on the day it matters.
- CourageousWe test the evidence and make the hard argument when it is the right one.
- Results drivenEvery decision is measured against one question: what gets you the best outcome?
