Manhattan U.S. Attorney Expected to Name Defense Lawyer to Lead Criminal Unit
Preet Bharara is adding a “tornado” to his team, a lawyer whose nickname stems from her experience in the courtroom.
Mr. Bharara, the United States attorney in Manhattan, is expected to select Lisa Zornberg as the new head of his criminal division, according to two people briefed on the plans. Ms. Zornberg, currently a white-collar criminal defense lawyer, previously spent more than a decade in the United States attorney’s office, where her effective handling of a mob-related case led The Village Voice to call her “a tiny tornado of a prosecutor.”
In returning to the office, Ms. Zornberg will take over for Daniel L. Stein, a longtime federal prosecutor who announced on Monday that he was stepping down to join the law firm Mayer Brown. Mr. Stein, who became chief of the criminal division last year, will lead Mayer Brown’s global regulatory and investigations group and act as a co-leader of the white-collar defense group. He will join the firm next month.
