An antitrust expert will soon head the legal department at embattled Intel Corp. A day before announcing that it would pay rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc. $1.25 billion to settle antitrust and patent disputes, it hired Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr partner and antitrust specialist Douglas Melamed as its new general counsel.
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. A source familiar with the situation confirmed that Intel’s board selected Melamed on Wednesday night. The move was first reported, on Thursday, by The Wall Street Journal ‘s Law Blog.
