Coca-Cola Legal Chief Change Is Part of Larger Reshuffling
“Coca-Cola Co.’s surprising decision to replace its general counsel after nearly eight months on the job is one of several recent changes involving the company’s legal and compliance personnel,” reports Brian Baxter in Bloomberg Law’s Business & Practice.
“The company also parted ways earlier this year with veteran in-house lawyer C. Benjamin Garren Jr., a former Baker Botts and Cravath, Swaine & Moore associate who spent 25 years in a variety of in-house roles at the beverage behemoth.”
“Coca-Cola recently hired Paul Lalli as global head of human rights, company spokesman Scott Leith confirmed. Lalli, an attorney, spent the past 18 years at General Electric Co., where he was general counsel for labor and human rights.”
