Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney has hired a new chief marketing officer to oversee the marketing, communications and business development efforts of the newly merged firm.

Mark P. Trice, most recently director of sales and business development at DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary, joined the firm during the last week of June. He is the first person with the CMO title at Buchanan Ingersoll, but firm Chairman Thomas L. VanKirk said that the firm has had people handle some of the same functions under a different title.
