Delaware Gov. Jack Markell has nominated private corporate litigator Andre G. Bouchard to become the next Court of Chancery chancellor. Bouchard, the managing partner of Bouchard Margules & Friedlander, is expected to be confirmed for the chancellor vacancy that was created when former Chancellor Leo E. Strine Jr. was promoted to state Supreme Court chief justice.

The nomination was not viewed as a surprise by those in the Delaware corporate law community. Bouchard was viewed as a heavy favorite for the position since last fall when Strine applied to become chief justice.
