An antitrust expert will soon head the legal department at embattled Intel Corporation. On Thursday the semiconductor maker announced that it’s paying rival Advanced Micro Devices $1.25 billion to settle antitrust and patent disputes. And the day before, it hired WilmerHale partner and antitrust specialist Douglas Melamed as its new general counsel. The Wall Street Journal‘s Law Blog reported Thursday that Intel’s board selected Melamed Wednesday night.
The position has been vacant since September, when Intel’s longtime general counsel Bruce Sewell left to become the top lawyer for Apple Inc. Deputy general counsel Suzan Miller had been filling in on an interim basis. Calls to officials at Intel and to Melamed were not immediately returned.
