State Department of Consumer Protection Commissioner William M. Rubenstein is retiring in January after four years in his post, his boss says.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Monday he will name Rubenstein’s successor in coming weeks.
“Bill has used his extensive experience in the public and private sectors to protect consumers from unfair business practices and unsafe products while enforcing the federal and state laws that ensure a fair and regulated marketplace for all,” Malloy said in a statement.
Rubenstein was an antitrust-intellectual property law partner at Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP in Hartford, before taking the commissioner’s job in January 2011.
Meanwhile, Malloy announced Friday that James P. Redeker and Roderick L. Bremby will remain on as the commissioners of the Department of Transportation and the Department of Social Services, respectively.
