Zachary W. Carter, a member of Marsh & McLennan Companies' board of directors since 2004, will resign effective Jan. 17 after New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio named Carter to become the city's corporation counsel, according to an SEC filing.

Carter is a partner at the law firm Dorsey & Whitney LLP. Prior to joining the firm in 1999, he was a federal prosecutor, judge and U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York.

de Blasio made the announcement regarding Carter on Dec. 29. In a statement, de Blasio said, "Zach Carter has been a fighter and a conscience for this city throughout his career. He's shown his character, his toughness and his resolve prosecuting dangerous criminals and protecting those who have been wronged. We are honored to have him represent this city and our administration."
