Correction: An early version of this story incorrectly said that the law firm Baker & McKenzie charged Virginia $985,000 to represent Robert F. McDonnell’s staff during the federal investigation that led to the former governor’s conviction on corruption and related charges. That figure is the amount charged collectively by Baker & McKenzie and a second firm, Eckert Seamans, which represented the office of the governor.

A private law firm hired to represent staffers for former Virginia governor Robert F. McDonnell at his corruption trial submitted a final invoice Friday for work in recent months for nearly $198,000, bringing the total bill to taxpayers from two firms which dealt with the case to about $985,000.

The firm, Baker & McKenzie, was hired in 2013 after it became clear that staffers for the governor had been issued subpoenas in the investigation and could eventually be called to testify at the federal trial.

Ken Cuccinelli II (R), then the state’s attorney general, said he had a conflict of interest in the matter, requiring that employees be represented by outside counsel.

On Thursday, McDonnell (R) was convicted of 11 corruption-related felonies stemming from his acceptance of $177,000 in gifts and loans in exchange for agreeing to perform official acts to assist businessman Jonnie R. Williams Sr. His wife, Maureen, was convicted of nine counts.

Among the 67 witnesses who testified at the six-week trial were numerous former McDonnell aides, including his onetime chief of staff, communications director and chief counselor.

Baker & McKenzie was hired in addition to another firm, Eckert Seamans, which represented the office of the governor. Lawyers for both firms worked for the state at steep discounts, but their bills have been controversial because taxpayers incurred significant costs as a result of the McDonnell investigation.

The McDonnells also each had large private legal teams that defended them during the trial. Those attorneys received no taxpayer dollars. A legal defense fund established to help pay the former governor’s bills has reported raising about $250,000, far short of what a defense such as the one the former governor mounted would generally cost. McDonnell has not otherwise publicly detailed how he paid the attorneys or said if they were being paid at all.

Baker & McKenzie’s final bill covered the period from June through August, which included the trial.

This story has been corrected to reflect that the $985,000 in fees were charged by two law firms.
