Apple appoints Meta veteran as litigation chief amid expanding lawsuits
Apple hired Scott Tucker, a longtime litigation chief at Meta, as its new vice president of global litigation and financial services.
Apple has brought on Scott Tucker, a longtime deputy general counsel at Meta, to lead its litigation efforts worldwide. The move reunites Tucker with Jennifer Newstead, Apple's new general counsel who also came from Meta.
Tucker's role is newly created and will oversee commercial and patent litigation globally, plus legal matters for Apple's financial services. Scott Tucker's arrival means Heather Grenier, the current VP of commercial litigation, moves to report to Tucker instead of directly to Newstead.
Tucker previously worked at Morgan Stanley, giving him experience with financial services law. Apple faces a growing number of lawsuits, including major antitrust cases and disputes over app store practices that have cost billions in settlements.
Why it mattersApple is strengthening its legal defences as major court defeats and billion-dollar settlements push the company to overhaul how it fights litigation.
