No, they won’t. The article says the security group has worked on the case pro bono so the consultants don’t get paid either way.

the defendant lawyer hired a firm which found evidence the defendant is not guilty.
The pro bono part raises more suspicions. One of the accused activist died of old age in a top tier hospital, not exactly a poor client requiring pro bono work.
Your logic is... suspicious.
The balance of evidence is against the prosecution now, and they can find their own expert witness if they disagree.
That being said, blatantly lying here would be a deathknell for the firm. Every case where they get involved will mean someone brings it up as a way to dismiss their testimony. It would take a staggering payment for most firms to even debate doing something like this intentionally. If it were my firm and I gave up all my morals, I would charge more than I could sell the firm for. I'm giving up basically all future revenue and tarnishing my own name; it wouldn't be something I casually did.
