A California federal court ruled that three law firms will receive $146.7 million in attorney fees for their work in a major privacy class action lawsuit against Google. This legal fee accounts for one-third of the total compensation awarded by Google of US$440 million. Earlier, these law firms convinced the jury that Google infringed on the privacy rights of 98 million users, and this compensation ruling was made. Judge Richard Seaborg said that the attorney's fee “is an astonishing amount, but the case itself is of a special nature, and the attorney's performance is exemplary, so the fee is reasonable.”
