Two top North West lawyers have teamed up with Coleen Rooney as she defends herself in the "Wagatha Christie" libel trial that is currently being held at the High Court.
Paul Lunt and Jamie Hurworth both work for the law firm Brabners and are based in the company's Liverpool office. The law firm was hired by Rooney's team following the aftermath of her social media post on October 9, 2019, in which she accused Rebekah Vardy's Instagram account of leaking her personal stories to the press.
Mrs Vardy, the wife of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, is suing Mrs Rooney, wife of former Everton forward Wayne Rooney, for libel following the social media post. The case, which has been ongoing for just under a week, has hit the headlines on a number of occasions with Mrs Vardy leaving court in tears at one stage during proceedings, Business Live reports.
