Apple Hires Meta Veteran Scott Tucker as Global Litigation Chief in Legal Shakeup

Apple has hired Scott Tucker, a former Meta deputy general counsel, as its new vice president of global litigation and financial services. The move reunites Tucker with Apple General Counsel Jennifer Newstead, who took over the Cupertino company's legal department in March after serving as Meta's top lawyer for six years. Heather Grenier, Apple’s current vice president of commercial and competition litigation, will move one level down in the organizational chart and report directly to Tucker. Another senior legal executive, Kyle Andeer, is expanding his role to oversee cybersecurity, international legal matters, and law enforcement. The reorganization arrives as newly appointed CEO John Ternus reshapes Apple's leadership while the company defends against a US antitrust lawsuit and European regulatory threats to its App Store revenue.
