BASF SE Appoints Matthew Lepore as Global General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer
“BASF SE, a chemical giant with a large litigation docket, has appointed an American, Matthew Lepore, to be its global general counsel and chief compliance officer,” reports Brian Baxter in Bloomberg Law’s U.S. Law Week.
“Lepore spent the past three years as a senior vice president and global head of legal from BASF’s headquarters in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Germany. He confirmed via email his new role at BASF, first reported Tuesday by German legal publication Juve.”
“As of May 1, Lepore succeeded Wolfgang Haas, a German lawyer who spent the past decade as BASF’s global legal chief with responsibility for the company’s tax, insurance, intellectual property, and customs teams. Lepore will assume the bulk of those duties, although tax and customs will be overseen by BASF in-house lawyer Oliver Nussbaum, according to Juve.”
