Cahill Gordon & Reindel said Monday that it has hired Kiersten Fletcher, a prosecutor from the Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney’s office, as a partner in its white-collar defense and investigations practice in Manhattan.

Fletcher will join the firm on July 15, after eight years in the Justice Department, where she was a senior member of the SDNY’s Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force and a member of the Money Laundering and Transnational Criminal Enterprises Unit. In particular, she served as lead or co-lead prosecutor in 10 jury trials in significant criminal cases, Cahill said. Before joining the government, she was an associate at Morrison & Foerster.
