Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings Inc. has a new general counsel: David M. Clark will serve as the company’s executive vice president and general counsel for the Americas.

Clark will report to Andrew Levin, executive vice president and chief legal officer for parent company Clear Channel Communications. Laura Toncheff will remain Clear Channel Outdoor’s deputy general counsel for the Americas on a part-time basis.

For general counsel job seekers out there, this was not a position open to the general public, but a position that was filled through an internal promotion. Clark has been a member of Clear Channel Outdoor’s legal team for the past five years and was most recently senior vice president and associate general counsel. Before joining the corporate world, Clark worked for a number of major national law firms.

“David’s broad industry experience and technical legal skills position him to become an important contributor to our management team,” says Clear Channel Outdoor-Americas President and CEO Paul Meyer.

Phoenix-based Clear Channel Outdoor (NYSE:CCO) has nearly 1 million displays in 50 countries.
