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.
