The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill announced Thursday it has hired Charles Marshall as general counsel after a string of high-level departures at the school.

Marshall’s predecessor Mark Merritt left UNC in 2018 to return to firm Robinson, Bradshaw & Hinson after less than two years in the GC role. Longtime UNC lawyers Steve Keadey and Kara Simmons have served as interim general counsel since Merritt’s move.
