Facebook has hired a general counsel to replace longtime legal leader Colin Stretch, more than a year into the social media platform’s slew of legal battles over misinformation and data privacy lapses.

Jennifer Newstead will lead the Menlo Park, California-based company’s legal team, Facebook announced in a press release on Monday. She currently oversees domestic and international legal foreign policy issues and more than 200 lawyers and staff as the legal adviser to the U.S. Department of State, a role she has held since 2017. She was the first woman to hold the position.
