• Sylvia Ducet, associate: African-American female, specializing in real estate law. She graduated 3rd in her class at Cornell. After Amanda left, Sylvia became the only female associate in the firm. She is one of two African-American associates at F & A. The other is Pete Marsden, described by Sylvia as a "goof". Burton offers to make her a non-equity partner for the first year, meaning she would not share in the Firm's net profit as the other partners do. The offer was a public relations scheme to make Burton more "sellable" as a politically appointed Federal Judge ["Lawyers, Guns and Money"]
• Gordon: senior partner, mentioned in "Shelter"
• Murray Lanceberg: senior partner mentioned in "Shelter"
• Nathan Caldwell: former State Senator. In spite of his 30 years of public service, Senator Caldwell lost his re-election bid. Subsequently he made a "deal" with Burton and was hired as a senior partner.["Chinese Wall"]
• Mitchell Lichtman: Graduated from Yale Law in 1993. Worked for the law firm of Sager & Treymaine(sp?) briefly before entering the world of state politics in 1996. Worked for Senator Caldwell in the State Assembly. Lippman prefers the political arena to the practice of law. He was hired along with Senator Caldwell and entered F & A as an associate. After committing a felony by revealing political information and compromising Caldwell, Burton fires him.["Chinese Wall"] As soon as Caldwell takes over, Lichtman is re-hired and made a senior partner, much to Nick’s dismay [“The Beginning”]
