Tyco's Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) general counsel Trevor Faure has left the manufacturing company to take up a new role. 
Both Faure and Enrique Aznar, Tyco's EMEA deputy GC and chief compliance counsel, will depart the company this month. It is understood that Faure has left Tyco to take up a global general counsel role with another company, while Aznar will join Nokia Siemens Networks as global compliance counsel.
The departure of the duo has led to a reshuffle in Tyco's legal division with global general counsel Judy Reinsdorf appointing David Symonds, chief lawyer for Tyco's Flow Control business, to take on the majority of Faure's responsibilities.
Symonds will lead the EMEA team for the International Fire division and regional team activities, while Faure's previous role has been scrapped.
Aznar's role will be filled by current Tyco Northern Europe senior regional counsel Joost Wiebega, who will report to Symonds.
During his time at Tyco, Faure overhauled Tyco's legal department, restructuring the EMEA function and bringing in a number of senior lawyers to the team. He also brokered a groundbreaking deal with Eversheds, using the UK law firm for almost all of its external legal work.
Faure joined Tyco from computer company Dell in 2004 and has also worked at Apple, where he was a senior counsel in the EMEA region.
