Britney Spears’s father, Jamie Spears, gets new lawyers to replace his longtime attorneys. He was suspended as conservator of the pop singer’s multimillion-dollar estate in September.
His ouster, as conservator came after Britney’s two-year-long legal battle to have him removed. Britney was under a conservatorship with Jamie in charge for over 13 years.
But a series of recent documentaries propelled the Free Britney movement. And in June Britney’s statement to the court went public, setting off a firestorm of controversy.
The irony is that Britney Spears has been paying for an army of attorneys. This includes lawyers that were arguing to keep her dad in charge. None of “her” attorneys were hired by the superstar until she was finally allowed to hire Mathew Rosengart.
Jamie Spears’ gets new lawyers
In court documents filed last week Alex Weingarten, a partner in Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP litigation department, will represent Jamie Spears in the future.
Unnamed sources claim that Jamie was dropped by his longtime attorneys in anticipation of future lawsuits. There is also a potential conflict of interest issue since his previous attorneys are supposed to be representing the best interests of Britney and her conservatorship. And his new attorney will be paid for and representing Spears’ dad.
