Robinson & Cole attorney appointed to CHFA board

HARTFORD – Litigation attorney Nuala E. Droney has been appointed by Governor Dannel P. Malloy to join the Board of Directors of the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority.
The Connecticut legislature created CHFA in 1969 as a quasi-public housing agency charged with expanding affordable housing opportunities for Connecticut's low- and moderate-income families and individuals. 

Droney focuses her practice on complex litigation in federal courts, including antitrust, patent, trade secret, trademark, unfair trade practices, fraud, and contract disputes. Through the federal Criminal Justice Act Training Panel, she has represented indigent defendants in Department of Justice investigations and prosecutions. She recently helped to develop a pilot program in Connecticut Superior Court to provide free legal services to domestic violence victims. 

Droney, a resident of West Hartford, Connecticut, received her J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law and her B.A., magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, from Yale University. Before entering private practice, she clerked for the Honorable Alfred V. Covello, U.S. District Court, District of Connecticut.
