Sharis Pozen, a former acting assistant U.S. attorney general for antitrust who joined Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom in July 2012, left the firm this month to become vice president for global competition and antitrust at General Electric.
Brackett Denniston III, general counsel of GE’s massive in-house legal department, confirmed Pozen’s hire in an email to The Am Law Daily. Pozen is the latest high-profile Am Law 100 partner to join the in-house legal ranks of the Fairfield, Conn.-based conglomerate, which earlier this week announced that its aircraft leasing unit would acquire helicopter lessor Milestone Aviation Group in a $1.78 billion deal.
