Apple has appointed Scott Tucker, formerly Meta's deputy general counsel and head of litigation, as vice president of a newly created position overseeing global litigation and financial services legal affairs. In this capacity, Tucker will manage Apple's worldwide commercial and patent disputes while handling regulatory matters related to the company's expanding suite of financial products. This strategic hire marks another significant talent transfer between the tech giants, as Tucker will reunite with Apple General Counsel Jennifer Newstead, who joined from Meta earlier this year. The appointment comes amid ongoing legal challenges for Apple, including U.S. antitrust lawsuits, persistent App Store conflicts with Epic Games, and litigation surrounding privacy issues and Siri feature delays. Neither Apple nor Meta commented on the move.
