Kirkland & Ellis said Monday that it has hired two antitrust attorneys with top government experience: Norman Armstrong Jr., who was King & Spalding’s co-practice head in the area, and Daniel Zach, from Cravath Swaine & Moore.

The lawyers are joining as partners in the firm’s antitrust and competition practice, with the firm noting they will ”significantly enhance” its practice. Both lawyers previously held top positions at the Federal Trade Commission.
