Kirkland & Ellis partner Joshua Sussberg described the revelation of Judge Jones's relationship with lawyer Elizabeth Freeman as a major shock, emphasizing their commitment to transparency.
He stated, 'To the extent that we were aware of an actual financial relationship, I can't tell you exactly what it was we would have done, but we absolutely would've made certain that that was out in the open...'
Sussberg asserted that if they knew about the relationship, he would have blown the whistle, not just for ethical reasons but to protect Kirkland's reputation.
He added, 'There's all sorts of different legal rules, regulations, and ability to challenge, and remedies and the like, but I would absolutely say that I do believe it tarnishes all these cases.'
