Lewis Silkin adds former CMA director to consumer regulation practice
16 September 2024
Lewis Silkin today announces the hire of Jen Dinmore as a Legal Director in its growing consumer regulation offering.
Jen joins Lewis Silkin from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), where she was Director of Consumer Protection.
In this role, she led various high-profile investigations into breaches of consumer law as well as heading the regulator’s Online Choice Architecture programme. Additionally, on secondment to the Digital Regulation Cooperation Forum ("DRCF"), Jen oversaw projects to optimise cooperation on online regulatory matters between Ofcom, the ICO, FCA and CMA.
Prior to joining the CMA, Jen practiced as a solicitor specialising in commercial litigation, before serving in the government’s Office of Fair Trading and advising on regulatory issues at the Office of Rail and Road.
Jen’s arrival further bolsters Lewis Silkin’s almost 50-strong Digital, Commerce and Creative team, which provides a full suite of advice including on route to market strategies, intellectual property deals, business process outsourcing, media rights and consumer regulatory compliance and investigations.
James Gill, Co-Head of the Digital, Commerce and Creative team at Lewis Silkin, commented:
We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Jen to the team. Her joining comes at a critical juncture for many businesses, which are continuing to adapt to an evolving landscape of consumer law – not least including the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act and the Online Safety Act – as well as seeking to leverage new opportunities in new media and technological innovation. Jen brings with her unique experience and perspectives gained from her time at the CMA and DRCF, which I know will prove a real source of value for our colleagues and clients.
Jen Dinmore, Legal Director at Lewis Silkin, commented:
Following an incredibly fulfilling time at the CMA, it is great to be returning to private practice and particularly to be joining Lewis Silkin, which is advising at the cutting edge of consumer protection and regulatory issues. I am looking forward to getting to know my new colleagues and helping to meet our clients’ needs as they continue to navigate complex regulatory requirements and engage positively with regulators.
