Questions About Fox Corp. CLO Bar Licensing
The chief legal officer of Fox Corp. since 2018 didn't become licensed in California until this summer, a delay one law professor described as a "big screw up" that might expose his communications with fellow Fox executives to public disclosure in the multibillion-dollar defamation litigation brought by two voting companies.
Viet Dinh, who is based in Los Angeles and regularly ranks near the top of Entertainment Law & Finance parent company ALM's annual highest-paid legal chief list, is widely viewed as the top deputy to Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch. The website Semafor, recently launched by former New York Times media writer Ben Smith, highlighted the licensing delay in a recent article.
"It is a pretty big screw up for a major corporation and a big-ticket guy," Shawn Martin, a law professor at the University of San Diego, told Semafor. Martin said that Dinh is unlikely to face sanctions, but that there could be consequences for the defamation cases brought by Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic over the Fox network's coverage of the 2020 presidential election.
