When his mentor passes away, he is recruited by a prestigious and more cutthroat law firm where he stumbles upon a case that changes his entire life.
Farrell will play the slick, money-focused lawyer who recruits the researcher to his firm, while Sanders would play an impressionable young lawyer fresh out of grad school who helps Washington with cases.
Contractor will play an assistant district attorney opposite Washington.
She just wrapped season one of CBS drama Ransom, and her previous credits include Star Trek Into Darkness and NBC’s Heroes Reborn and The Carmichael Show, along with Fox’s 24.
