The AA has appointed former Allen & Overy lawyer Mark Millar as its general counsel and company secretary, three months after being floated on the London Stock Exchange.

The appointment, which came into effect on 8 September, was announced to the market yesterday (17 September) and is the first time the roadside recovery group has had a general counsel.

Millar joins from Domino's Pizza, where he was also general counsel and company secretary, having moved to the company in February 2013. He was previously the chief lawyer at media company and magazine group Future, where he had been based since 2002.
