Sean Penn hailed his longtime lawyer Matthew Rosengart as a dedicated crusader for justice Wednesday at the Variety Power of Law breakfast in Beverly Hills, presented by City National Bank, where he presented Rosengart with the Power of Law award.Penn noted Rosengart’s major accomplishment of helping the “Free Britney” movement triumph last November by guiding pop superstar Britney Spears through the maze of ending the restrictive conservatorship arrangement that had been in place for her since 2008.“By extracting a young woman named Britney Spears from a disturbingly antiquated conservatorship, he did much more than inspire the memes of fans in finding justice for this high-profile client,” Penn said at the event, held outdoors at the Four Seasons Hotel. Penn praised his legal eagle for managing to stay very involved in his life and CORE non-profit that aims to provide disaster and humanitarian relief around the world, despite being in the thick of an all-consuming case that drew worldwide attention.“He remained the constant and active general counsel for my organization, CORE,” Penn said.
“For those of us who have Matt on our side, we all feel we were the only fight on his card. He’s extraordinary.”Moreover, despite his success as a partner and principal shareholder at Greenberg Traurig, Penn emphasized that Rosengart is dedicated to work that helps those who need muscle the most.“He still practices his dignity of indignance on behalf of the big and the small, both as a litigator and as a friend,” Penn said.Rosengart was clearly moved by the high praise as he took the stage.
