The show begins with Louis Litt, a junior partner at Pearson Hardman, telling Jessica that there is a problem with Gerald Tate, and her telling him to get Harvey. It was later revealed, however, through Louis' indirect assistance, that it was Daniel that had been stealing money, and he had set Louis up to take the blame for his misdeeds. His position at the firm was put under threat, however, when Harvey, under orders from Jessica, discovered evidence that seemed to suggest that Louis had been stealing from the company.

Louis is Jewish and has made references multiple times, like sharing his senior partnership news with his Rabbi, and asking Jessica for time off during Rosh Hashanah, and referring to his therapist Dr.

This incident is what causes the rivalry between the two lawyers. Although Harvey initially suspects Hardman leaked his game plan, he later finds out it was Louis, who did it to gain a junior partnership with Hardman.

When Harvey refuses to drop them, he ends up losing a court battle on McKernon's behalf when the opposing counsel manages to counter him at every turn. 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
