Ellen Parsons
Alarmed by Ellen's (Rose Byrne) remorse over Ray Fiske's suicide, Patty Hewes
(Glenn Close) worried she'd be a turncoat and tried to have her killed.
Ellen's mentor, Tom, gave little help after she was wrongly jailed for murdering her fiancé (Arthur Frobisher's henchmen had killed him, looking for a damning videotape.)
Tom Shayes
Associate Tom (Tate Donovan) quit, taking the Frobisher plaintiffs with
him. He caved and came back; Patty still didn't make him a partner.
Arthur Frobisher
Using the incriminating videotape, Patty muscled the defendant (Ted
Danson) into settling for $2 billion, then gave the tape to the DA
anyway.
Frobisher's cohorts had a potentially damning witness mowed down by a car: Frobisher's married lawyer, Fiske, had an unrequited crush on the male victim.
Ray Fiske
When Patty blackmailed her opposing lawyer (Ċ½eljko Ivanek) with proof of
his love for the dead witness, he committed suicide in her office.
