Hardly. The case will be taken on at least partial contingency and likely financed by a litigation funding company.

- tryingagainbro 9y agoIs there a chance of actually getting money from Google? The precedent fear will guarantee that Google will fight this tooth and nail. Pro-bono I could see firms taking it, lots of press and the chance of being defined as a top tech-related litigation company. Or Google's many enemies could finance this.
- staticautomatic 9y agoSure. Like most companies, Google settles plenty of lawsuits and only tries them when it has to or believes it has a high probability of winning. Precedent fear guarantees nothing. You could have said that about any number of cases that Google has settled. There is zero chance that a law firm would take this pro-bono, regardless of the perceived marketing benefits, because it's simply too expensive. It will not be financed by Google's enemies. If it's financed, it will be by a litigation financing company like Burford or Bentham IMF or something.
