Britney Spears’ attorney is reportedly working for free.
Mathew Rosengart has begun offering his services pro bono after receiving more than $4 million from the pop star since she retained him in July 2021, TMZ reported Friday.
Sources told the outlet that Spears paid the former federal prosecutor $4,201,856 between November 2021 and March 2023 alone, a figure that represents the work he performed after her conservatorship was terminated.
While the Grammy winner has been a free woman for a year and a half, her court case is still ongoing as she continues to battle her estranged father, Jamie Spears, and former business manager, Lou Taylor, over legal fees and accounting.
“We are very proud of our work of nearly two years and Britney’s appreciation of it,” Rosengart tells Pvnew exclusively, “and we will continue to fiercely fight for her.”
In addition to having Jamie suspended as conservator, the legal arrangement dissolved altogether, defeating a motion to depose Britney and performing other investigative work, the powerhouse lawyer was instrumental in drafting a prenuptial agreement prior to his client marrying Sam Asghari, securing a restraining order against Britney’s stalker ex-husband Jason Alexander and helping implement deals for her “Hold Me Closer” duet with Elton John and forthcoming memoir.
The $4.2 million that Britney, 41, reportedly has paid Rosengart pales in comparison to the $36-plus million that Jamie, 70, and various attorneys allegedly took from the “Toxic” singer’s estate throughout her nearly 14-year conservatorship.
Rosengart claimed in court documents filed in January 2022 that Jamie — who put himself in charge of his superstar daughter’s personal and financial affairs in February 2008 amid her personal struggles — received “at least $6 million” for his role.
The filing also alleged that the Spears patriarch “petitioned for fees to be paid to dozens of different law firms” for “more than $30 million.”
Jamie has denied any wrongdoing.
Britney reportedly had a net worth of just $60 million when her conservatorship ended despite her chart-topping albums, $15 million deal to judge “The X Factor” and a four-year Las Vegas concert residency that grossed $137.7 million, among other ventures.
