Fox News faces legal battles and reputational damage.

The $787.5 million settlement between Dominion Voting Systems and Fox Corp marks the end of a two-year legal battle that involved at least 31 lawyers from nine different law firms. Dominion's lead law firm, Susman Godfrey, was hired on a contingency basis and gave Dominion a "substantial discount" because it viewed the case as pursuing accountability for election falsehoods. The legal fees for the law firms involved in the case have not been disclosed, but past examples of contingency fee arrangements show how lucrative they can be if a case is successful.
