As he continues to fight his ongoing legal woes, Bill Cosby is shaking things up by replacing his longtime lawyer Martin D. Singer with Christopher Tayback of Quinn Emmanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, a law firm based in Los Angeles.
The changes come less than two weeks after Cosby underwent a deposition in which Gloria Allred questioned him for seven hours as part of civil suit brought on by a woman who's alleging Cosby sexually assaulted her at the Playboy Mansion in 1974.
The contents of the deposition will not be made public until at least the latter half of December.
According to the NY Times, the new firm representing Cosby specializes in business litigation and arbitration and is known for aggressively defending their clients.
Allred responded to the decision Tuesday by stating "Mr. Cosby has decided to hire 700 lawyers to fight one woman." She went on to state, "We look forward to continuing our legal battle on behalf of Ms. Huth and this change will not impact our vigorous advocacy on her behalf."
Allred represents 26 of the 50-plus women Cosby has been accused of sexually abusing over the last four decades. Three new women came forward just earlier this month.
Singer has represented numerous high profile clients including Arnold Schwarzenegger. Cosby's new legal team did not elaborate on the change in representation and Singer has yet to comment.
Cosby has denied all allegations brought against him.
