Wolfram and Hart

Wolfram & Hart is the name of an evil organisation of lawyers in the Angel series who tend to only aid clients that are unmistakably evil: people such as mobsters, murderers, corrupt senators and a large number of demonic clients are set as a typical example of the people the organisation defends regularly.

They are also a thinly disguised yet effective tool for a conspiracy to unleash the apocallypse upon the world and were founded with aid from the Wolf, the Ram and the Hart - three demons that were considered weak in the pre-human age of Earth but left this realm long ago and set up Wolfram & Hart as a means to continue their neferious ways on the earth-plane, now going under the name of the Senior Partners.

The firm is said to hold branches in every major city in the world but only the LA and Rome branches have been seen in the series - unsurprisingly since most of Angel is set around the LA area.

Wolfram & Hart are also very much an all-purpose evil organisation and have "Special Projects" such as organising charity events so as to steal 95% of the funds, hiring assassins to deal with threats to the Senior Partners and other highly illegal activities.

Every 75 years Wolfram & Hart have a review of performances, during which one of the Senior Partners takes corporeal form and will punish any employees who are not performing well enough - people working in Wolfram & Hart are fearful enough for this review that they will often make human or animal sacrifices beforehand in an attempt to please the Senior Partners.

Despite this harsh rule higher-management in Wolfram & Hart are also shown to be capable of allowing favored employees to have a second chance if they feel merciful - though this is totally up to the manager and as such it is a highly hazardous company to be involved with, many employees end up killed or tortured in the line of duty.

Also Wolfram & Hart have branches outside the mainstream dimension and may be present in multiple spheres of reality - though functioning differently in each.. the LA branch of the organisation was destroyed by Angel in the series finale and this, along with the murder of Marcus Hamiton, would lead to the Senior Partners declaring war on Angel for his trespass against the organisation.
