A longtime top in-house lawyer in the medical device industry is moving to a leading semiconductor business.
Norwood, Massachusetts-based Analog Devices Inc. announced it has appointed Larry Weiss to vice president, general counsel and secretary, effective Feb. 11. In his new role, Weiss will oversee the company's global legal function, including mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property work and compliance matters, according to a statement announcing his hire.
Weiss joins Analog Devices from Medtronic's Minimally Invasive Therapies Group, where he had been vice president and general counsel for four years, leading the $9 billion global medical device business' Legal and Healthcare Economics and Reimbursement functions.
Weiss succeeds Margaret Seif, who is currently the chief legal officer and chief people officer.
“We are delighted to welcome Larry to Analog Devices,” Seif said in the statement. “Larry's experience counseling CEOs and senior leaders on a wide spectrum of legal matters, from organizational transformation to strategic transactions to intellectual property, make him an excellent addition to ADI. We look forward to his leadership as we continue to drive ADI to ever greater levels of success.”
Weiss was not available for an interview on Tuesday.
“Larry will oversee our entire legal group and report to Margaret, who as Chief People Officer and Chief Legal Officer, provides oversight for several functions at Analog Devices including Legal, HR, and Communications,” a company spokesman said.
Analog Devices is one of the world's largest chipmakers. In 2016, it acquired competing chipmaker Linear Technology Corp. for $14.8 billion in cash and stock.
Prior to joining Medtronic in January 2015, Weiss was vice president and general counsel at Covidien Surgical Solutions, the largest global business unit at Covidien before its acquisition by Medtronic. Since 1999, he has held in-house roles of increasing responsibility at Covidien and its predecessor company Tyco Healthcare, according to his LinkedIn profile.
A graduate of Boston University School of Law, Weiss began his legal career as an associate at O'Connor Broude & Aronson before moving to Goodwin Procter, where he was a corporate associate, LinkedIn said.
