Kirkland & Ellis hasn’t represented accused sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein in years, but the law firm and its alumni’s prints are all over his new criminal case in New York federal court.
Epstein’s criminal case history includes several Kirkland litigators, past and present, including longtime partner Jay Lefkowitz and former Kirkland litigators Alexander Acosta, now U.S. labor secretary, and Kenneth Starr.
