HBO's "War" introduces two fictional law firms, Cathcarts & Sons and Taylor & Byrne. Here's what you need to know about both.
The legal drama War centers on the crumbling marriage of actress Carla Duval (Sienna Miller) and tech entrepreneur Morgan Henderson (Dominic West). However, it also focuses heavily on the lawyers representing the couple during their divorce proceedings. Two fictional rival law firms are introduced: Cathcarts & Sons and Taylor & Byrne.
Cathcarts & Sons, often simply called Cathcarts, is an established London-based firm with a rich history and substantial resources. Headed by partners St. John Smallwood (Pip Torrens) and Beatrice Ubosi (Nina Sosanya), the firm boasts a formidable presence in the legal world. Senior associates David Schill (Miles Jupp) and Suzie Levitniik (Kartanya Maynard) assist the partners. Junior associates David Schill (Miles Jupp) and Suzie Levitniik (Kartanya Maynard) help in the case.
Taylor & Byrne, on the other hand, is a newer firm founded by Nicholas Taylor (James McArdle) and Serena Byrne (Phoebe Fox). Expecting their first child, the couple is eager to make a mark in the legal industry. Serena, who previously worked with Beatrice at Cathcarts, brings her own biases to the case. Nicholas and Serena's team includes associates Michael Stefano (Nick Mohammed) and Nora Okafor (Akiya Henry), barrister Budgie (Celia Imrie), and training associates Saeed Masood (Shaheen Jafargholi) and Molly Giordano (Emma Laird.
Newcomer Johnny Warren (Archie Renaux) is a mole working for Cathcarts, leaking information to the firm.
