Biography
Prof. Sharon Oded leads the Regulatory, Compliance, and Investigations practice at Norton Rose Fulbright in Amsterdam, where he is renowned as a trusted advisor and strategic partner to multinational corporations and financial institutions. His global practice spans multiple jurisdictions, offering high-level guidance to organizations during their most critical moments—whether navigating dawn raids, government inspections, product recalls, environmental and safety incidents, or conducting sensitive internal investigations.
Sharon's experience spans complex issues such as anti-bribery and corruption, insider trading, tax evasion, fraud, antitrust, export control, economic sanctions, and anti-money laundering. His ability to steer cross-border investigations and manage regulatory scrutiny makes him an indispensable resource for board members, General Counsel, and in-house legal and compliance teams. Sharon excels in helping organizations respond strategically to corporate crises while providing leadership on global compliance risk assessments, enhancing corporate compliance programs, responding to whistleblower reports, and conducting due diligence for mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures.
In addition to his regulatory compliance work, Sharon is also a recognized authority on corporate sustainability and European law, supporting businesses in aligning sustainable practices with their legal obligations. His comprehensive approach ensures that organizations not only comply with regulatory requirements but also thrive in an evolving business landscape.
Sharon is a professor of corporate compliance and enforcement at the Rotterdam Institute of Law and Economics and a former research fellow at the University of California, Berkeley. He previously served as a member of the committee advising the OECD on Non-Trial Resolutions of Foreign Corruption Cases. As Chairman of the Compliance Chamber at the Institute for Financial Crime, Sharon continues to shape global best practices in compliance, corporate governance, and risk management.
