billionaire Macau real estate developer Ng Lap Seng to pay his former lawyers more than $1.9 million in legal fees stemming from his criminal bribery case.
Ng had also tried to claw back the $4.1 million he had already paid the Mo firm, but Hellerstein rejected his arguments that the Mo firm broke its contract or did not perform agreed-on legal services. Mo, the namesake founder of the firm, said he was gratified by the bench ruling "because my career of a lawyer with 46 years as a litigator was put on the line."The bench trial before Hellerstein lasted nine days and was spread across three months.
The Mo firm said that six months before the trial began Ng began retaining lawyers from Kirkland & Ellis, including then-partner Viet Dinh, who provided their own legal advice and engaged in plea negotiations with the U.S. government, acting as Ng's "shadow counsel." Dinh is now chief legal and policy officer for Fox Corp.
