The Firm
The truth is as dangerous as ever.
Created by Lukas Reiter
On NBC
A legal thriller about a man emerging from witness protection into renewed danger, balancing procedural legal drama with sustained paranoia and mob-adjacent threat.
As a young associate, Mitchell McDeere brought down the prestigious Memphis law firm of Bendini, Lambert & Locke, which operated as a front for the Chicago mob—and his life was never the same. After a difficult decade, which included a stay in the Federal Witness Protection program, Mitch and his family now emerge from isolation to reclaim their lives and their future—only to find that past dangers are still lurking and new threats are everywhere.
