MADONNA HIRES MCCARTNEY'S DIVORCE LAWYER06/25/2008The "4 Minutes" singer was said to be impressed by Fiona Shackleton's handling of the former Beatle's bitter battle with ex-wife Heather Mills and wants her to represent her case against Guy Ritchie. A friend of the singer insists Fiona is the natural choice for Madonna, telling Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Madonna always seeks out the best in whatever field she is interested in at any given time. Fiona Shackleton is the best." Madonna - who reportedly has no pre-nuptial agreement with Guy - had been hoping to resolve their difference but has reportedly realized their relationship is irreparable, she needed a proper legal consultation. One friend of the lawyer - who also represented Prince Charles in his divorce from Princess Diana - said: "Madonna was impressed by Fiona's work for Paul and the way she handles herself in the public eye. She is a consummate professional." Earlier this month, Madonna was forced to deny rumors she had been having talks with Nicholas Mostyn QC - the lawyer who represented Heather in her divorce from Paul. Madonna's spokesperson denied those claims, but of the latest rumors would only say: "We are unable to comment on this." Madonna, 49, and Guy, 39, have a seven-year-old son Rocco and an adopted son David, two. Madonna also has a daughter, 11-year-old Lourdes, from a previous relationship. 2 |
