Judge Denise Cote appointed Michael R. Bromwich to serve as external monitor over Apple to ensure its antitrust compliance, as specified in the permanent injunction agreed to by both parties last month. Currently a litigation partner at Goodwin Procter, Bromwich was designated by President Obama in 2010 as the first director of the newly created Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement and was an Inspector General with the DOJ. Judge Cote also ordered Bernard Nigro, a partner at Fried Frank specializing in antitrust and competition and the other leading candidate for external monitor, to assist Bromwich in his responsibilities. In her order, Judge Cote noted after her interviews of both candidates that “it is clear either one is capable of doing an exceptional job as Monitor.”
