There is also the occasional divorce assignment. Much of the time, Mr. Zabel will play the role of mediator, and has peaceably settled the divorces of the late author Michael Crichton, the radio host Howard Stern and the New York Jets owner Robert Wood Johnson IV.

But at times, he has been involved in nasty marital spats, like that of Ms. Welch, whose marriage collapsed after she discovered her husband’s dalliance with the journalist Suzy Wetlaufer. The divorce was fiercely litigated and settled on the courthouse steps in 2002 only after Mr. Welch agreed to pay Ms. Welch several hundred million dollars.

More recently, he represented Christina Lurie, the former wife of the Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, who divorced after 20 years of marriage. Ms. Lurie remained a part owner of the team.

Because he keeps divorce representations to a minimum, Mr. Zabel often refers cases to his former wife, Eleanor B. Alter, herself a prominent matrimonial lawyer in New York.

据《纽约时报》日前报道，一个月前，传媒大亨鲁珀特•默多克突然向与他结婚14年的妻子邓文迪提出离婚。邓文迪则于近日更换律师，这意味着两人离婚可能进入针锋相对的阶段。

邓文迪聘请威廉•扎贝尔为新的法律顾问。扎贝尔是纽约知名不动产律师，曾代理过多个富豪离婚案件，其中包括通用电气首席执行官约翰•F•韦尔奇和前妻简•比丝丽•韦尔奇与之间那场激烈的离婚诉讼。
