CONTACT:	Alex Dubee, 646-660-5798, [e-mail] ABOUT SUITS Set in the fast-paced, high-stakes world of a top Manhattan corporate law firm, SUITS stars Gabriel Macht as legendary law partner Harvey Specter, and SAG Award-nominee Patrick J. Adams as his brilliant, but not-technically-legal associate Mike Ross. Despite his lack of bonafide credentials, Mike’s photographic memory and encyclopedic legal knowledge make him an invaluable asset to Harvey and to their firm, Pearson Hardman. The dynamic duo have managed to guard their secret thus far, but as the first season came to a close, Mike’s ex-best friend was determined to expose him to the firm’s top suit, Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres), and Mike’s future was left hanging in the balance. Jessica, however, may have bigger problems on her hands, with the other half of Pearson Hardman reemerging on the scene. Meanwhile, Mike’s love life has become increasingly complicated, jeopardizing his relationship with Rachel (Meghan Markle), the firm’s best paralegal and his only friend in the office. The series also stars Rick Hoffman and Sarah Rafferty. From Universal Cable Productions, SUITS was created and is executive produced by Aaron Korsh. Doug Liman and David Bartis of Hypnotic also serve as executive producers.
