Apple names Meta veteran Scott Tucker as litigation chief in legal team shake-up
Article excerpt
Apple Inc. has tapped a longtime Meta Platforms Inc. executive as its new litigation chief, bolstering its legal team at a time when the iPhone maker faces a growing array of lawsuits. The company has hired Scott Tucker, a longtime deputy general counsel and litigation chief at Meta, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The move reunites Tucker with new Apple General Counsel Jennifer Newstead, who is bringing on a trusted lieutenant from her time at the social networking giant. Advt Tucker is becoming Apple’s vice president of global litigation and financial services, a newly created position overseeing commercial and patent litigation worldwide, said the people, who asked not to be named because the move isn’t public. He’ll also manage legal matters involving the company’s financial offerings. The appointment means Heather Grenier, Apple’s current vice president of commercial and competition litigation, will move one level lower in the organization, reporting to Tucker instead of directly to Newstead. Grenier will still remain on Newstead’s legal leadership team.
