Apple has appointed Bruce Sewell to the role of general counsel and senior vice president. He succeeds Daniel Cooperman, who retires this month.

Apple's new general counsel and senior vice president is Bruce Sewell, formerly senior vice president and general counsel at Intel.

Sewell joined Intel in 1995 as a senior attorney, and was promoted to vice president and deputy general counsel in 2001.

He was previously a partner in the firm of Brown and Bain.

Sewell holds a BSc from the University of Lancaster (UK), and a JD from George Washington University (USA).

"We are thrilled to have Bruce join our executive team, and wish Dan a very happy retirement, said Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

"With Bruce's extensive experience in litigation, securities and intellectual property, we expect this to be a seamless transition," he added.
