Let’s contend we wish to sue somebody for defame though all we have is their Gmail address. Naturally, we need the counsel to acquire their name as well as IP residence from Google. So what does the counsel do to acquire those records? Does he uncover up during Google as well as contend “I’m the counsel as well as we need this?” – what gives the counsel which authority?

A court order.
You…. If you start a case.
Goes to a judge with jurisdiction and asks for a subpoena for the information; if the judge agrees he has just cause, he grants it
a private person like you will not have a right to it generally until you file a suit. after that, the process of discovery allows you to obtain certain relevant evidence.
in contrast public officials dealing with law enforcement can get warrants but that has nothing to do with a civil defamation suit
don’t worry about it. the lawyer you hire wuill know how to deal with it and google has an entire department of people handling such requests. they won’t hand it over just because you ask though, and “libel” is unlikely to be a suit any attorney will take unless they jsut want to take your money for a while until you give up.
