Dillon reveals surprise move to rival firm
Paula Dillon, a senior player at Big Six law firm Addleshaw Goddard, surprised the legal sector yesterday with her move to smaller rival Dickinson Dees.
Ms Dillon, a commercial real estate lawyer, said: “I am excited by the opportunity to use my market knowledge and contacts to play a major part in the development of a high quality full service offering in Yorkshire and to further develop the excellent platform that Dickinson Dees has already established.”
John Marshall, senior partner at Dickinson Dees, said: “Her profile in Yorkshire together with her wealth of experience will strengthen our offering even further and her appointment comes at an exciting time for the firm as we progress towards our merger with Bond Pearce on May 1.”
Mark Owen, the former senior partner at Pinsent Masons in Leeds, joined Dickinson Dees last year.
