Episode 1
Quentin Welcher is a man driven by a massive ego. A solicitor who fancies himself as a barrister, Quentin envisages himself as respected by his peers, a mentor to his staff and the patriarch of Welcher and Welcher, the law firm established by his father. In his eyes, his wife looks up to him both personally and professionally and his devoted son is keen to follow in his footsteps. In reality however, Quentin is a pompous, accident-prone fool and a terrible lawyer to boot. He struggles with the everyday grind and his authority is questioned at every turn. The best thing Quentin has going for him is Kate, a fine solicitor, office manager and also his wife. Practical and principled, Kate's clients are the pro bono oppressed and downtrodden, as opposed to the nameless corporations and malingering car accident victims who make up Quentin's roster.
