Murdoch Lawyer Who Saw Fox Through Crises to Exit After Deal

Murdoch Lawyer Who Saw Fox Through Crises to Exit After Deal

Gerson Zweifach, the lawyer who guided billionaire Rupert Murdoch and his family through the British phone-hacking scandal, will step down as general counsel of 21st Century Fox Inc. once the media company completes its $71 billion asset sale to Walt Disney Co. Zweifach, 65, has served alongside Murdoch since since 2012. “Gerson is one of the brightest legal minds in the business and has been instrumental in our growth,” Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch, the company’s executive chairmen, said in a statement.
