Marco's Pizza has appointed franchising law veteran Kristin Corcoran to chief legal counsel, according to a press release.

Corcoran has more than 30 years experience providing legal counsel to the franchising community, handling both domestic and international legal matters at leading organizations such as DLA Piper N.A. and the franchisor of Subway restaurants. She was also the co-founding partner of Appleby & Corcoran, LLC, which provided legal counsel to franchisor clients.

"The opportunity to serve at a leading franchise such as Marco's — a brand with an outstanding culture and a rapidly expanding footprint — has been a unique and exciting experience," Corcoran said in the release. "Since I joined Marco's, the brand has made significant strides in furthering its growth, and I look forward to continuing our momentum for years to come."

Prior to her appointment, Corcoran served as Marco's vice president of corporate counsel. In her new role, she will serve as the primary legal advisor to the company, providing day-to-day direction to her team and working closely with the leadership team and various department heads.

"Kristin's legal expertise has made a profound impact on Marco's throughout her time with the brand," Tony Libardi, co-CEO and president of Marco's Pizza, said in the release. "Her leadership, knowledge and contributions have been instrumental as we roll out new initiatives that benefit both our franchisees and customers. She has been a tremendous asset and addition to our executive team, and I look forward to seeing her continue to bring invaluable experience and perspective as we embark on our next era of growth."
