Britney Spears has paid £1.8million to legal eagles since her father Jamie was handed control of her affairs, the Los Angeles Times claim. The paper reports that no fewer than 17 different law firms have been involved in Britney's professional and personal life since a judge decided she was unfit to manage her own business. According to accounts filed in Los Angeles' Superior Court this week, Spears's estate paid out a minimum of $2.7million (£1.8million) in legal fees and costs in the first 11 months of her conservatorship, $1million (£686,000) of which was to attorneys representing her father Jamie. "Since the initiation of the conservatorship, as a result of the concerted efforts of Mr. Spears as well as all the professionals involved, all aspects of Ms. Spears's life have been stabilised and continue to improve," Jamie's lawyer Geraldine Wyle explains, adding Britney's career "had been revitalised", she had also regained "substantial visitation" with her children and that her mental health continued "to mend".
