Dimmock is a seasoned litigator who joins Dentons to lead the Corporate Crime practice, backed by nearly 20 years’ experience in the full spectrum of white-collar crime. And she has extensive experience in handling high-profile, cross-border and sensitive matters requiring press or reputational management.

Her clients included major international investment banks and global social media platforms, whom she advised on corporate defence, investigation, and compliance matters.
