Cellular service giant Verizon on Tuesday announced that its current legal chief is moving to a new role at the company, and it is promoting a veteran Verizon attorney to fill the vacancy.

The New York-based company said that as part of a reorganization it is creating a shared service organization—a business structure that consolidates functions that are used by multiple parts of the enterprise—and installing Craig Silliman, currently chief administrative officer and general counsel, to run it as president.
