Miami-based litigation firm Podhurst Orseck has promoted one of its associates to partner and hired an additional associate to replace her, as competition continues to intensify in the city.

Kristina Infante, who has handled several high-profile cases—including a lawsuit against the FBI over how the agency handled the Parkland shooting—since she joined as an associate from Boies Schiller Flexner in 2018, was promoted to partner on Monday; while Zachary Gorwitz, who has experience within the federal courts system, joined to fill her role as an associate.
