Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden announced that he has appointed Ian McConnel, former head of the Delaware Department of Justice Fraud and Consumer Protection Division, to the position of State Solicitor.
The State Solicitor oversees several key functions of the office, including evaluating Freedom of Information Act requests, providing legal representation to hundreds of State boards and commissions, and reviewing and drafting complex transactional agreements.
Before joining the DOJ in 2008, McConnel practiced law at the Wilmington firm of Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell. He has also worked as an investment adviser and licensed stock broker for a private mutual fund company, and served as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps.
