Former Apple Counsel Joins Bingham
Law firm Bingham McCutchen said Tuesday that Daniel Cooperman, the former general counsel at Apple (AAPL) and Oracle (ORCL), will rejoin its Silicon Valley office and focus on “corporate and transactional matters.”
One of things that Mr. Cooperman says he intends to do: bring the firm up to speed.
In a phone interview, the 59-year-old attorney, who spent almost 11 years at Oracle and was at Apple between 2007 and 2009, provided a glimpse into the pressures of being a general counsel at major corporations. He said law firms in general don’t fully understand the speed, urgency and virtual nature of corporations’ operations.
