Report: Ex-Microsoft legal chief to head SF Giants

Bill Neukom, the lawyer who led Microsoft through the height of its antitrust problems, has been chosen as the new managing general partner of the San Francisco Giants baseball club, according to a report today by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Neukom, the current American Bar Association president and a partner at the K&L Gates law firm, was already a Giants investor. He worked at Microsoft for 17 years, in a career marked by high-profile legal disputes with Apple Computer, the U.S. Justice Department and others. Microsoft was ultimately able to reach a settlement with the U.S. government in the landmark antitrust case after a federal judge ordered the company broken in two.

A call to Neukom's Seattle office Friday afternoon wasn't immediately returned.

For more backgound, see this profile of Neukom last year by the P-I's Andrea James.

MSFT: DAILY TREND

FEATURED COMMENT

PictureI think taking a larger share of Facebook would be a good move. Facebook is preparing itself to be the platform of the web and this is exactly what MS needs. Also incorporating facebook services with outlook and hotmail could be extremely useful. Unfortunately, a complete buyout would put MS's name behind the service which could turn users away (as fickle as young people are) so, like the previous 250 million investment, it would need to be quiet."
