All I know is what I read in this transcript online:
Judge Brann: Tomorrow at 5 pm in fine. Discovery, I’ll take under advisement. Last issue - was this guy in your Abu Dhabi office? This voice mail, it’s bad form. Not sanctionable, but don’t do it again. It was a harassing call. I’m here for the main event.
Ms. Kerns: I’m getting 100s of these calls. But when one comes from Kirkland & Ellis... I’ve represented people in small claims court, this shouldn’t happen to anyone. I want people to understand how this impact.... Mr. Donovan has not apologized, nor has the man whose name I’m not giving out.
Q: Does your Honor have a problem with the lawyers here commenting?
Judge Brann: No. And there’s no hearing on Thursday. It’s not needed at this juncture. It’s under advisement.
Giuliani: She’s been under attack—
Judge Brann: The word I would use would be mockery.

Pure speculation on my part: I think the lawfirm is embarrassed by the bad PR, so it is withdrawing.
So the Judge called it a harrassing call. Law firm claims rogue employee didnt know they were involved in the case..so he just decides to harass an attorney.
I think he should be fired. Probably wont be but having an employee who can embarrass your firm like this is just waiting for another rogue incident.
