Apple’s intention to develop a more-focused team to handle mergers and acquisitions (as revealed last night ) has seen a casualty – the company’s top corporate lawyer, Charles Charnas, has quit the company. Charnas was hired away from HP in April 2008 to lead Apple’s corporate department. The first hire by the company’s then new and now departed senior counsel, Daniel Cooperman, Charnas oversaw Apple’s recent acquisitions, including the recent Lala.com takeover.
