The unstoppable force meets the immovable object?
Posted in Latest News on 29 Sep 2016
According to Robert Louis Stevenson, author of Treasure Island and Jekyll and Hyde, "Compromise is the best and cheapest lawyer."
Judging by the calibre of lawyer Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have appointed there might be a shortage of common ground in their relationship.
Brad's UK legal team is headed up by a Solicitor who is also known as "The Rottweiler", Angela's by a Senior Partner who has the ear of the establishment and has acted for The Queen, Prince Charles, William, Harry and the Middletons.
In anticipation of the forthcoming clash of the titans we knocked some CV's up for these guys and the American super lawyers who will be managing the separation.
