Lawyers win big in $787.5-million Fox defamation case

The $787.5-million settlement that ended Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against Fox Corp also marks the end of a lucrative, two-year legal battle for the sprawling teams of highly-paid lawyers on both sides.

At least 31 lawyers from nine different law firms worked on the case, court filings show.

Dominion said Fox News broadcast false claims that the company’s voting machines were involved in a conspiracy to rig the 2020 US presidential election, and won one of the biggest settlements paid in a defamation lawsuit.
