Several lawyers who built their in-house reputations at well-known companies from Uber Technologies Inc. to Apple Inc. have taken top counsel positions at growing companies in October.

The month started with a former Goldman Sachs general counsel and Blackrock chief operating officer becoming general counsel at the cryptocurrency firm Blockchain. A former associate general counsel at Uber went to Fundbox, the San Francisco-based firm that’s building a business-to-business electronic payment and credit network that leverages machine learning. Cloud data protection startup Druva Inc. picked up a former lawyer for Apple and Broadcom Inc. as its first general counsel. The chief legal and policy officer of electric scooter company Bird Rides Inc. has joined Nuro Inc., a robotics firm that builds self-driving delivery vehicles. Genesco Inc., the Nashville, Tennessee-based footwear specialty retailer affiliated with the Dockers brand and Journeys stores, nabbed a former Nissan Group and Sears Holdings Corp. general counsel.
