London Inc. Magazine profiles Nicola Circelli in “Building her case”

London Inc. Magazine, June 22, 2026

London Inc. Magazine featured Nicola Circelli in a June 22, 2026 profile, “Building her case,” published as part of the magazine's annual women in business feature. The piece traces her path to founding Nicola Circelli Law and her approach to criminal defence.

The profile highlights her work advocating for clients facing mental health challenges, and a practice built on rigour and empathy. Circelli describes founding her own firm as a way to take on greater autonomy and accountability over how she represents her clients.

A recurring theme is sustainability: protecting her own well-being while showing up fully for the people she represents. As she frames it in the article, ambition is less about working around the clock than about being intentional and present.

“Fairness has always driven me. I couldn't ignore it when something felt unjust, and criminal defence gave me a place to actually do something about it.”
— Nicola Circelli, in London Inc. Magazine
