Bill Cosby takes on new representation

As he continues to face battles in courtrooms across the US, Bill Cosby has replaced Martin D. Singer with business litigation and arbitration specialists Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan.

Mr Singer, prominent as a fierce protector of Hollywood celebrities, had been on Mr Cosby’s legal team for years and has been replaced in two civil cases. One is a defamation suit filed by former model Janice Dickinson, who has accused the entertainer of drugging and raping her in 1982, while the other has been brought by Judy Huth, who claims he forced her to perform a sex act on him when she was 15. Mr Cosby has denied any wrongdoing and has not been criminally charged.

‘700 lawyers to fight one woman’
