LEGAL MINDS
By Bridgette Grace

GENRE: Drama
LOGLINE:

Follows a group of young and brilliant lawyers on an explosive collision course, using all of their considerable smarts and influence as they each vie for power, wealth, control, and the ultimate place at the top, having their name next on the wall at Russell & Kane, Austin’s most prestigious law firm. 

SYNOPSIS:

An 7-hour satirical black comedy-legal drama.

A series set in Austin, a city best known for its entertainment, decadence, and dirty southerners, follows six employee’s two Name Partners, three Senior Partners, and a legal secretary living and working in the brutal world of high-end litigation at Russell & Kane, Austin’s most prestigious law firm. This elite group of brilliant, aggressive, amoral, wealthy, ultimate schemers and dysfunctional lawyers, whose tactics to always win frequently cross over into illegal acts, live on a southern rich kid's playground feeding off each other's power and weaknesses, while the three Senior Partners are each vying for the ultimate place at the top; having their name next on the wall. The group includes Harlow Russell, an intimidating and overbearing Name Partner; Jack Kane, a well-respected power hungry old-money socialite and Name Partner; Sawyer Holland, a young manipulative genius and Senior Partner nicknamed the “killer” due to her being that good; Duke Daniels, a sweet-talking Senior Partner and ambitious winner; Smith Prescott, a new talented Senior Partner from a rival firm known for challenging the status quo; and Mara Hernández, the firm's legal secretary and confidant who keeps the firm running. As this group competes to survive in the volatile world of southern law and politics, one thing becomes certain - the fight for ultimate power means war, and they are sent down a spiraling path of ruthless pragmatism, shattered expectations, manipulation, betrayal, frustrated ambitions, tested loyalties, being caught up in the ever-growing bureaucratic corruption and practices of the industry.
