Karwai Tang/WireImage(NEW YORK) — Amal Alamuddin has changed her name.
The lawyer, 36, who wed George Clooney, 53, last month in Venice, is now professionally known as “Amal Clooney,” according to her bio on her company’s website.
“Amal Clooney is a barrister specialising in international law, human rights, extradition and criminal law,” the bio says. “She has represented clients in cases before the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights, as well as in domestic courts in the UK and US.”
Alamuddin and Clooney marked their nuptials with a lavish, days-long celebration with famous friends including Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. The newlyweds capped things off with a 12-minute civil ceremony on Monday, Sept. 27.
“The best part of being at George and Amal’s wedding was those two people finding each other,” Murray told E! News. “It’s just amazing that those two people — the way they are — found the other person. It’s almost surreal. I am so happy for them!”
