Kathaleen McCormick

Kathaleen McCormick is an American lawyer and chancellor. Noted for being an effective corporate litigator, in 2018 McCormick was successfully nominated to the Delaware Court of Chancery by Governor John Carney.

Career

McCormick received a juris doctorate from Notre Dame Law School and a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy from Harvard University.[1] During her career as a lawyer, she worked as part of a private practice before becoming a partner at Wilmington law firm Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor. At Young Conaway, she specialized in corporate and alternative entity law.[1][2]

In September 2018, Delaware Governor John Carney nominated McCormick and Morgan T. Zurn as vice chancellors to the Delaware Court of Chancery; these appointments raised the total number of court chancellors from five to seven, the first such expansion in over two centuries of Delaware law. Carney noted that McCormick's experience would make her "an immediate asset to the court.”[2] Her nomination was confirmed by the Delaware Senate in October 2018.[3][4]
