Apollo, BlackRock Deny Asking Kirkland To Abandon Optimum
By Tracey Read – March 27, 2026, 3:40 PM EDT

Apollo, Ares, BlackRock and other major financial firms have denied the allegations made by Optimum Communications. Optimum claims the firms “bully‑ed” the law firm Kirkland & Ellis LLP into withdrawing as its transaction counsel in a telecommunications deal, seeking retaliation for a separate collusion lawsuit that Optimum filed in a New York federal court.

The dispute centers on whether the financial firms improperly pressured Kirkland & Ellis to step aside, thereby influencing the outcome of Optimum’s transaction and undermining its legal strategy. Optimum argues this conduct was meant to punish the company for its antitrust claims, while the defendants assert that no such coercion occurred. The case highlights ongoing tensions between large financiers and corporate counsel in high‑stakes litigation.

City of Kirkland are announcing that they're expecting the long Cross-Kirkland-Connector/Eastrail closure in southern Kirkland to end "as soon as" February 27th, which basically confirmed what they were saying before: https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WAKING/bulletins/409bcb8 #biking #BikeTooter #kirkland #seattle #CrossKirlandConnector

There's finally an update on the Cross-Kirkland Connector closure-and-detour due to emergency sewer line work. They're hoping to be done with the sewer reroute in February, with the possibility of re-opening that section of the CKC by the end of the month. #biking #seattle #kirkland #CKC #CrossKirlandConnector #biking #BikeTooter
