Normally we don’t delve too much into the insider shadowy world of legal affairs, what with their fancy “ex post facto,” “stare decisis,” and “veni vidi vici” and all that. But from the depths of an industry paper, The Recorder, came this gem about new-hire General Counsel (or GC, in industry parlance) Cooperman:
Just how badly did Apple want to hire Daniel Cooperman?
Enough to give the former Oracle general counsel 133,000 shares of restricted stock, worth about $25 million at the end of trading Thursday when the company announced the grant. And enough that Apple CEO Steve Jobs handled his recruitment personally, according to an individual familiar with the situation who did not want to be named.
As the people say: “Pecvniate obedivnt omnia.”
