New legal bills in Britney Spears's conservatorship. This is just for dad Jamie's lawyers...all paid for by Britney:
- Holland & Knight: roughly $1.5M for the last 8 months, including over $500K for "media matters" including a former member of Congress who charged $1,285 an hour
- The Freeman firm, which employs Jamie's longtime lawyers Geri & Jeryll, billed $700K+ for the last 20 months
- $21K+ for Sidley Austin (Last year, Britney's CAC objected to Sidley allegedly billing Britney the cost of a cease & desist letter sent on behalf of Lou Taylor)
Russ August & Kabat (RAK) working on behalf of "a business entity wholly owned by the Conservatorship through which certain of Mr. Spears’ business matters are transacted" billed $360K+ fr April 2019 to today, including for media work that got "a delayed and improved publication"
And $18K a month for Jamie Spears, the person tasked with overseeing his daughter's $ as conservator of the estate. He "keeps current" on the music biz, communicates with experts in "analyzing investment strategies" & says his intention has always been to act in B's best interest

Busy day inside the courtroom for Britney Spears’s conservatorship case today. Some highlights:

- 13 years later, Britney finally won the right to choose her own lawyer: former federal prosecutor and prominent Hollywood attorney Mathew Rosengart. Rosengart was TOUGH:
“One thing is clear. This is not working.”
“There’s a real Q why Jamie Spears does not voluntarily step down. Is there a conflict of interest?”
“Does anyone believe Jamie is in her best interest after what we heard?”
“As she said, she wants her life back. This is a first step.”
- Rosengart also said he wants to investigate whether Britney’s conservatorship was ever appropriate to begin with.

- Britney’s former court-appointed counsel for the last 13 years was approved to resign. Also resigning was litigation counsel Loeb & Loeb.

For her conservatorship fight, Britney Spears may try to hire a former federal prosecutor who has been described as “a tough as nails streetfighter with a big brain and bigger principles.” nytimes.com/2021/07/11/art…
It is unknown whether the judge will allow Britney to choose her own lawyer, after the court-appointed lawyer Britney had for 13 years asked to resign last week.
Britney’s mom asked the court to let Britney choose her own lawyer. Britney’s conservator of the person asked the court to appoint a guardian ad litem to help Britney find a lawyer. Britney’s dad asked the court to wait until Wednesday’s hearing to hear that request.
