Britney Spears’ attorney is reportedly working for free.
Mathew Rosengart has started offering his services for free after getting more than $4 million from the pop queen since she hired him in July 2021, according to TMZ.
According to sources, Spears paid the former federal prosecutor $4,201,856 between November 2021 and March 2023, a figure that represents the job he did after her conservatorship was terminated.
While the Grammy winner has been free for a year and a half, her legal struggle with her estranged father, Jamie Spears, and former business manager, Lou Taylor, over legal expenses and accounting is still ongoing.
“We are very proud of our work of nearly two years and Britney’s appreciation of it,” Rosengart tells Page Six exclusively, “and we will continue to fiercely fight for her.”
In addition to having Jamie suspended as conservator and the legal arrangement dissolved entirely, 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, obtaining a restraining order against Britney’s stalker ex-husband Jason Alexander, and assisting with the implementation of deals for her “Hold Me Closer” duet with Elton John and forthcoming memoir.
The $4.2 million allegedly paid by Britney, 41, to Rosengart pales in comparison to the $36-plus million allegedly taken from the “Toxic” singer’s estate by Jamie, 70, and numerous attorneys during her nearly 14-year conservatorship.
In court documents filed in January 2022, Rosengart claimed that Jamie, who took over his celebrity daughter’s personal and financial affairs in February 2008 amid her emotional troubles, collected “at least $6 million” for his role.
According to the filing, the Spears patriarch “petitioned for fees to be paid to dozens of different law firms” in the amount of “more than $30 million.”
Jamie has denied any wrongdoing.
Despite chart-topping albums, a $15 million deal to judge “The X Factor,” and a four-year Las Vegas performance residency that made $137.7 million, Britney reportedly had a net worth of only $60 million when her conservatorship ended.
