A powerful Hollywood lawyer is reportedly set to represent Britney Spears in her legal conservatorship battle. Matthew Rosengart, a former federal prosecutor who has represented several celebrities in recent years, has had discussions with the pop star and is due to attend a hearing in Los Angeles this week to begin the process of taking over as her attorney, The New York Times reports. Spears has been living under the strict court-appointed conservatorship for 13 years with all of her personal and financial affairs controlled mainly by her father Jamie Spears. In explosive court testimony in late June, the 39-year-old singer spoke passionately to a judge about her wish to end the arrangement which she described as « abusive. » Spears also spoke of how she has not been permitted to select her own legal counsel over the course of her conservatorship and despite having a good relationship with her lawyer Samuel D. Ingham III, would have preferred to have control over who represented her.
