Attorney returns as Morris James partner after state directorship

Morris James LLP announced that Matthew F. Lintner has returned to the firm as a partner in the Corporate and Commercial Litigation Group. His practice focuses on corporate governance, corporate investigations, unfair trade practices and complex commercial matters.

In 2012, Lintner was appointed by Attorney General Beau Biden to be director of the Fraud and Consumer Protection Division for the Delaware Department of Justice, and in that position he was responsible for all civil and criminal enforcement under the securities, antitrust, consumer protection, data security and unfair competition laws in the state.

Lintner was also responsible for the prosecution of all corporate fraud, heathcare fraud and charity fraud in Delaware. He worked closely with both Attorneys General Biden and Matt Denn on continuing efforts to address the underlying misconduct at the heart of the 2008-09 financial crisis.

Prior to his appointment, Linter represented clients in corporate governance, business tort, trust and contract actions, including trade secret and unfair competition claims. In addition to serving as a partner at Morris James, he previously served as a partner in an AmLaw 100 firm in California. Lintner graduated from Stanford Law School in 1990 and earned his bachelor of arts degree from Dartmouth College, magna cum laude. He is admitted to practice in Delaware and California.
