September 16, 2025, Womble Bond Dickinson has added David D. DiBari as a partner in its Washington, D.C., office, strengthening its white-collar and cross-border investigations practice. He joins the firm’s Business Litigation group with over 35 years of experience advising multinational corporations and financial institutions on white-collar defense, financial crime compliance, and international regulatory issues.
