Harvey manages to convince Avery McKernon to let him represent him, telling him that he is loyal and that he would never drop them, but Hardman tells Harvey to drop him since another automotive company triple the size of McKernon wanted the firm to represent them. Hardman agreed on the condition that whoever got McKernon Motors would be considered for partnership. When Fairchild, a former senior partner, had passed away, Louis came up with the idea that instead of having Daniel Hardman promote another junior partner to the position of senior partner, he promotes Harvey & himself from senior associates to junior partners, and that one day the firm might be called ' Pearson Hardman Specter Litt'. Louis was a senior associate when Harvey Specter joined the firm, after leaving the District Attorney's Office. He is an expert in Corporate Finance and is well known for his superb training of the associates. He graduated from Harvard University, achieving the Order of the Coif. Louis was born and raised in Scarsdale, New York. Monkey in an Italian Suit (by Jeff Malone) The Biggest, Baddest Prisoner in the Yard
