* MagnificentBastard:
** [[FemmeFatale Kalinda Sharma]], born [[MysteriousPast Leela Tahiri]], is Lockhart/Gardner’s investigator and plays a vital role in the vast majority of the cases the firm wins. Kalinda excels in using her charm, sexuality and acting skills to gain access to crime scenes, uncover evidence and track down witnesses. While showing UndyingLoyalty to her friends, Kalinda is [[PayEvilUntoEvil absolutely ruthless]] towards her enemies. She frames Blake Calamar for having an affair with drug kingpin Lemond Bishop’s wife, and Damien Boyle for having betrayed his former clients in the mob, forcing both men to leave town or be killed, and she is heavily implied to have murdered her abusive husband Nick Savarese. When Alicia Florrick and Cary Agos leave Lockhart/Gardner to form their own firm, Kalinda expertly [[PlayingBothSides plays both sides]], using Cary’s interest in hiring her to get a pay raise from Lockhart/Gardner, and manipulating Cary’s feelings for her to gain important information about Florrick/Agos. Kalinda brings about Bishop’s downfall by stealing the evidence needed to put him in prison from his computer, accomplishing in a matter of days what the authorities had failed to do for years, before calmly skipping town to avoid retribution. [[TheAce Unmatched in her field]], Kalinda proves her worth time and time again as one of Lockhart/Gardner’s most valuable employees, arguably even more so than their lawyers.
** [[TheDon Lemond Bishop]] is Chicago’s top drug kingpin and a top client of Lockhart/Gardner and later Florrick/Agos. A suave and eloquent man, Bishop has used his charisma and intelligence to remain one step ahead of the authorities for years, while establishing a chain of successful legitimate businesses with his drug money and making plans to retire from the game altogether. When Bishop suspects that there is a leak in Florrick/Agos, he cunningly [[FeedTheMole feeds the mole]] and correctly determines that Alicia’s phone is being tapped. Hiding a terrifying ruthlessness beneath his friendly demeanour, Bishop is implied to have ordered his wife’s death while [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident making it look like a drug overdose]] to prevent her from gaining custody of their son in their divorce, intimidates witnesses, including his own sister, and is the only person shown to be capable of [[TheDreaded genuinely frightening]] Kalinda Sharma. When he is finally arrested, Bishop’s only concern is that [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes his son]] would have to witness this, as Bishop has endeavoured to [[EvilParentsWantGoodKids shield him from his criminal life]].
** [[AmoralAttorney Louis Canning]] is one of Lockhart/Gardner’s most frequent and brilliant adversaries. Canning defends pharmaceutical corporations from lawsuits for developing unsafe medicines, and employs many dirty tactics in court, his favorite of which is to [[DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery milk his tardive dyskinesia]] for sympathy from judges and juries. In his first appearance, despite being outargued in court, Canning gets the last laugh when he reveals that Lockhart/Gardner had underestimated the value of their case, allowing him to negotiate a settlement of less than half the lawsuit’s worth. Canning later teams up with Patti Nyholm to [[KansasCityShuffle distract]] Lockhart/Gardner with a FrivolousLawsuit and steal their top client, driving the firm into bankruptcy and almost putting them out of business altogether. Canning also schemes with David Lee to merge his firm with Lockhart/Gardner and ruin Diane’s attempts to merge with Florrick/Agos, ultimately driving Diane out of her own firm. [[AffablyEvil Effortlessly charming]] and a loving family man [[PunchClockVillain outside of his work]], Canning’s skill as an attorney is matched only by his wit and unfailing respect for Alicia’s own skills.
** Patti Nyholm is a devious and brilliant lawyer opposed to Lockhart/Gardner. A highly skilled advocate capable of going toe-to-toe with Will Gardner in court, Patti’s unsavory clients include insurance companies and hospitals refusing to provide desperately needed emergency medical care, and she often uses [[HoldingTheFloor stall tactics]] to pressure the opposition in these time-sensitive cases. When fired by her firm, Patti uses Lockhart/Gardner to bring a lawsuit against them, illegally feeding Lockhart/Gardner inside information on active cases in order to force her firm to give her job back. She is then able to return armed with inside information on future cases against Lockhart/Gardner, which Will cannot call her out for illegally using without himself admitting to perjury and risking his own disbarment. Patti later [[VillainTeamUp teams up]] with Louis Canning to steal Lockhart/Gardner’s top client. Despite appearing in only five episodes, Patti remains one of Lockhart/Gardner’s most memorable and formidable opponents.

* ValuesDissonance: Kalinda is rather cynical about a jury consultant for using racial stereotypes, to which the rather obvious comeback is, "That’s what your firm pays me for." Honestly, you simply try to fix a jury in your favor, and ''look'' at the kind of amoral people you get.
