The lawyers will be laughing all the way to the bank!
They took the case on a "contingency basis" and absorbed all costs during the case (some $16 million). They'll be getting all of that back and probably a nice percentage of the settlement. I wouldn't be surprise if it's 30-50%.

Let's just say my lawyer is 42 and retiring to Hawaii next month, after 15 years of practice.
