Fox Corp.’s top lawyer and a close aide to Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch is stepping down in the company’s biggest management shift since its $787.5 million settlement of defamation claims by Dominion Voting Systems.
Viet Dinh, Fox’s chief legal and policy officer, will depart that role on Dec. 31 and become a special adviser to the company, the company announced on Friday. As part of his separation agreement, Dinh will receive a $23 million lump-sum payment. He will also be paid $2.5 million a year as an adviser under a two-year contract.
