Last April, dozens of lawyers and their guests gathered at the Columbus Inn in Wilmington, Del.
Hours earlier, the lawyers and their client, Dominion Voting Systems, had negotiated an extraordinary $787 million settlement with Fox News.
Susman Godfrey would pocket a thick slice of the settlement that Fox had just wired over.
Clare Locke, a smaller firm that specializes in the niche field of defamation law, wouldn’t get a cut of the settlement.
But Dominion had already paid it millions of dollars in fees, and the victory offered the firm the potential for something even greater.
