Subway Restaurants has hired a new top lawyer, but the struggling private company is staying tight-lipped about the leadership change in its legal department.
Ilene Kobert, a real estate lawyer and shareholder at Greenberg Traurig, will succeed Bethany Appleby as the sandwich chain's chief legal officer. A spokeswoman for Subway confirmed Kobert's appointment as the company's top lawyer but would not provide further details.
Meanwhile, Subway has yet to officially announce Kobert's hiring. The company's most recent press release, issued on Nov. 18, trumpets the return of the "ultimate garlic cheesy bread."
