Mathew Rosengart, the attorney who helped free Britney Spears from her 13-year conservatorship, is now moving on to focus on other clients, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
In a June 24 interview with PEOPLE, Rosengart expressed his honor in working with Britney. “I was honored to work with and protect Britney, who is and will always be an icon, and most specifically, to have helped restore the fundamental rights and civil liberties that were stripped from her, which was always our focus,” he said.
After successfully ending Spears’ conservatorship, which was suspended in September 2021 and terminated on November 12, 2021, Rosengart resolved all related litigation. Addressing the media and Britney’s fans after the court hearing, Rosengart called it a “monumental” day for the pop star. “What’s next for Britney is up to one person — and this is the first time we can say this in a decade. It’s up to Britney,” he declared. “Britney, as of today, is a free woman.”
Three months later, in February 2022, Britney thanked Rosengart in an Instagram post. “This man has turned my life around … So many exciting projects ahead!!!!” Spears wrote. “Thank you for being so kind and respectful to me always!!!!!!”
Rosengart continued to represent Spears in ensuing legal matters, including settling a dispute with her father over legal fees from the conservatorship. “Although the conservatorship was terminated in November 2021, her wish for freedom is now truly complete,” he stated, as reported by PEOPLE.
Reflecting on his time as Spears’ attorney, Rosengart told The Hollywood Reporter, “As I’ve always said, the credit goes to Britney.”
