March saw a varied range of general counsel moves such as Wells Fargo’s board voting this week for C. Allen Parker, the company’s general counsel, to be interim CEO and president to the National Enquirer owner hiring an in-house lawyer a month after the alleged extortion scandal with Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos.
