Amber Heard has hired new lawyers as she appeals the $10 million awarded to Johnny Depp in their defamation battle \u2014 a move experts said could be advantageous for the \u201cAquaman\u201d actress.<\/p>\n
Heard, 36, has brought on David Axelrod and Jay Ward Brown, of national law firm Ballard Spahr, who successfully represented the New York Times against former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s libel argument.<\/p>\n
They’ll help Heard as she fights to overturn the largely unfavorable verdict against her handed down by a jury following the ex-couple’s bombshell trial in Fairfax, Virginia. <\/p>\n
Virginia lawyer Elaine Bredehoft \u2014 who repped Heard at trial \u2014 will be leaving the team, according to a spokesperson for the actress.<\/p>\n
