When Zuckerman Spaeder adds Mitra Hormozi, a partner at Kirkland & Ellis, to its roster of partners next week, the Washington-based firm will have 16 lawyers in its New York office, up from three in the fall of 2011 when Steven Cohen was brought on board to build a team that could attract high-level appellate work, investigations, complex civil litigation and white-collar defense and advisory work.

Hormozi, a former prosecutor and chair of the state Commission on Public Integrity, follows close behind Barbara Jones, also a former prosecutor who left the Southern District bench after 17 years to join the firm last month.
