Prince Andrew will find it 'almost impossible' to overturn Giuffre settlement, says top US lawyer
Speculation has mounted in recent weeks that Prince Andrew has consulted lawyers Andrew Brettler and Blair Berk - who has previously represented clients including Kayne West, Mel Gibson and Leonardo Di Caprio - to consider whether it would be possible for him to renege on his $12m deal with Ms Giuffre.
“I would say that it is wishful thinking on the Prince’s part and if he’s getting advice of that nature, I would say the advice is ill-advised… it’s almost impossible. One of those encouraging Prince Andrew to assess his options is US lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who was also accused of sexual assault by Ms Giuffre before she conceded she had ‘made a mistake’ in identifying him.
Yet Mr Simon poured cold water over Dershowitz’s suggestions, criticizing the lawyer for allowing his own experience to unduly influence his thinking: “Alan Dershowitz is not really giving impartial neutral advice because he was sued as well… A lot of [Dershowitz’s advice] is motivated by his own personal experience rather than a lawyer giving impartial advice to a client.”
