Charlotte, NC – Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP is pleased to announce that North Carolina Lawyers Weekly and The Mecklenburg Times have named Dena King to their list of "50 Most Influential Women." Dena was recognized for her commitment to North Carolina’s legal and business communities.

North Carolina Lawyers Weekly created the 50 Most Influential awards to spotlight the important role women leaders play in the state’s legal and business communities. The winners are selected based on their leadership, business acumen, mentoring, and community involvement.

Dena is a litigator and former federal prosecutor who brings nearly two decades of experience in federal and state courts counseling clients on white collar defense, government and internal investigations, and compliance best practices. She advises clients across a range of industries, including financial services, health care, and education, and represents them in encounters with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and other prosecutors and regulators. Before joining Parker Poe, Dena was the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina.
