Fox's top lawyer is stepping down just a few months after the company's mammoth Dominion settlement.
Viet Dinh will receive a $23 million lump sum payment when he exits as chief legal officer later this year.
Dinh was a key confidant of the Murdochs and is godfather to Fox Corp CEO Lachlan's son.

One of Fox's most prominent lawyers and a key player in the Dominion settlement is stepping down from his influential role at the company, and will take home a $23 million exit package.
