"If anyone asks, we were never here." -- Louis Litt

Background

Louis Litt is a senior partner at Pearson Specter Litt whose expertise lies in the procedural mechanics of litigation. Where Harvey Specter excels at the theatrical performance of trial law, Louis masters the technical foundation—the objection patterns, the procedural motions, the courtroom rules that determine what evidence gets heard and what gets excluded.

His role in the trial preparation is focused and specific: he drills Nikki Bramble on objection technique until her responses become automatic, ensuring that the defense's procedural game is as strong as its cross-examination preparation.

Personality

Louis is intense, meticulous, and deeply invested in the proper functioning of the legal system. He clutches his briefcase like a talisman and approaches courtroom procedure with the passion that others reserve for closing arguments. His outrage at the ethical violations in the Grazella case is genuine—Louis may be competitive and occasionally petty, but he is fundamentally a mammal who believes the legal system should work as designed.

His insistence on anonymity—"If anyone asks, we were never here"—reveals both his understanding of the danger the Lynxley family represents and his willingness to take that risk anyway.

History

Season 1: Counsel & Moot (S01E21-22)

Louis arrives with the Pearson Specter Litt team in S01E21 "Counsel", briefcase in paw. While Harvey Specter handles cross-examination preparation and Jessica Pearson oversees strategy, Louis focuses on the procedural dimension of trial readiness.

In S01E22 "Moot", Louis works directly with Nikki Bramble, drilling objection patterns with relentless precision. His method is repetition: pattern recognition, automatic response, no hesitation. By the time he finishes, Nikki's objection instincts are honed to the point where courtroom procedure becomes muscle memory rather than conscious thought.

His reaction to the evidence of Louis Grazella's corruption---genuine outrage at the ethical violations---underscores that Louis's investment in this case goes beyond professional obligation. His parting line: "If anyone asks, we were never here." PSL departs after the preparation is complete.
