Wendi Deng Murdoch hired a new attorney, New York lawyer William D. Zabel, to negotiate her divorce from News Corp. billionaire Rupert Murdoch, a person familiar with the matter said.

Zabel, of Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP, has represented women in high-profile divorces including that of former General Electric Co. Chief Executive Officer Jack Welch. Zabel didn’t respond today to phone and e-mail messages after regular business hours seeking comment on the Murdoch case.
