Amal Alamuddin has seemingly changed her last name to Clooney, following her marriage to the actor last month.
Her profile has been changed on the Doughty Street Chambers to Amal Clooney, although the page has since crashed.
The human rights barrister – who married Clooney in a four-day-long celebration in Venice - had initially changed her name to Amal Alamuddin Clooney, but her professional profile reads differently.
The chambers she works for has already been forced to upgrade its website to contend with the traffic surge, following her wedding in September. She was hired by the law firm in 2010.
