On paper, Richard Layton & Finger’s new chair Paul Heath looks like homegrown talent and the model of exactly what Delaware wants to see for the state’s legal sector.
He graduated from University of Delaware and went on to get a law degree from Widener University. Heath built his legal career in the First State, home to thousands of incorporated companies and hundreds of Fortune 500 businesses. This summer, he was elected chair of the law firm he worked at for his whole professional life.
If you ask Heath, it’s a heavy honor to bear, being the face of Delaware’s largest law firm and most venerated when it comes to corporate matters.
