james_black3 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 <p>What percentage of this settlement did the law firm representing Getty (Pinsent Mason), get for their services, and then how much of the settlement did Getty keep and finally, how much did the photographer eventually get (if anything)? I don't mean to be cynical, but these are the realities of law suits. The discovery of the mis-appropriation of the photo was in 2007. It is now 2 years later. That's a long time for this thing to wind its way through the judicial system.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
