Francine
The managing partner and the firm's founder. Francine built the practice from a single desk in a shared office to a fifteen-lawyer operation in a heritage building downtown. She hired both Sloane and Killian and has watched their war with an expression that reads as benign disinterest but is actually pure calculation. She is about to announce a single partnership opening — the only promotion to full equity partner in five years — and she has not yet decided which of them will get it.
