The lawyers and PR firms on all sides of Sumner Redstone’s legal battle are the ones raking in the big money while Viacom’s stock price plummets.

Sumner Redstone, Shari Redstone, Viacom, National Amusements, and independent board members are all represented by different law firms and PR agencies, which comes as no surprise considering the $40 billion estate up for grabs.
