Top GM Lawyer to Delay Retirement Until Successor Named
General Motors top lawyer has deferred his retirement to July because the company has not yet found his successor, according to a filing last week with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, reports The Detroit Free Press.
Mike Millikin, the automaker’s general counsel who came under fire during last year’s Congressional hearings on GM’s recall of defective ignition switches, planned to retire early this year. But the company said in its announcement last October that the 66-year-old would remain until a replacement was found.
Millikin joined GM in 1977 and served as its top lawyer for the last five years, The Free Press reports.
