Kasowitz Benson Torres has landed a top antitrust lawyer in Kevin Arquit, a former Federal Trade Commission official who joins the firm as a partner from Weil, Gotshal & Manges, where he was a co-leader of the global antitrust practice.

For New York-based Arquit, who previously served as the FTC’s general counsel and director of its bureau of competition, the new role at Kasowitz comes after a prior lateral move at the start of 2017. That year, he joined Weil as antitrust co-head from Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, where he had spent some 14 years and also headed the antitrust practice. Kasowitz announced the hire in a statement Wednesday, although Arquit’s move had previously been reported in The New York Times and noted in a Law.com briefing.
