Hardman privately explains to Jessica that the client is looking for acquisitions and since Jessica turned the offer down, he is going to start targeting Pearson Specter Litt clients. Of course, Harvey and Jessica immediately object to this and end the meeting. Jack Soloff, during a partners meeting, tells the partners that Daniel would share the client with all the partners, should they agree to bring Hardman back to the firm on "trial basis". Hardman puts his plan in motion in the episode " Uninvited Guests", where it's revealed that he has signed a client worth billions of dollars. More than two years later after his dismissal, Hardman once again returns to New York and is trying to take over the firm from Jessica and Harvey, by using senior partner Jack Soloff. This causes Jessica to merge with Darby International to create Pearson Darby, and with Darby's funds they manage to get rid of and settle every case Hardman had against them. Although the lawsuits held no weight, Daniel knew that either Jessica and Harvey would have to settle the cases or go to court and fight them all off, both bankrupting the firm in the process. He also has a bunch of people filing lawsuits against Pearson Hardman. While defending Folsom, he files a gender discrimination suit on behalf of Monica Eton using, word-for-word, the lawsuit Mike Ross had filed against Monica. Hardman was then dismissed from the firm for fraudulently suing the firm.ĭaniel then started working with Robert Zane to try take the firm down by defending Folsom Foods on a gender discrimination civil case being handled by Pearson Hardman. Later, it was revealed that Hardman had planted the CM memo to make it look like Donna had buried it, and then had Travis Tanner attempt to sue the firm. When Donna found the evidence stamped with her name on it, she destroyed it in an attempt to protect Harvey. Harvey, who had done no such thing, ordered Donna to find any such evidence in the file room. Daniel reluctantly agrees.ĭaniel being voted off by every senior partner in the meetingįive years later, when Alicia loses the fight against her cancer, Hardman comes back and manages to take over the firm once again and takes advantage of a lawsuit filed against Harvey by Travis Tanner, saying Harvey had buried evidence in a case. Threatening to tell his wife, Harvey asks Daniel to sign a piece of paper saying Daniel is walking away from the firm. He soon discovered that the money was not for Alicia but for Monica Eton, with whom Daniel was having an affair. This was enough to satisfy Jessica but not Harvey who really wanted his partnership. When confronted about this by Jessica, Daniel reveals that his wife has cancer and he has been stealing this money to help her. With Louis's help, Harvey proves that Daniel Hardman had been the one stealing from the firm. Harvey soon finds the culprit to be Louis, only to find out that the real culprit had made Louis out to be the fall guy. Hesitant to go to Daniel without any concrete proof, Jessica sends Harvey to investigate, promising him partnership if he succeeds. In the year 2007* (five years ago according to " Rewind") Jessica had noticed someone had been stealing from the firm after looking at the accounting books. When Harvey refuses due to the fact that he gave McKernon his word, Daniel claims he isn't partnership material since he can't put the firm's needs above his own word, and instead promotes Louis to junior partner, since Louis managed to sabotage Harvey's game plan and caused him to lose the court case. Hardman had Harvey sign McKernon Motors but then told him to drop him for a firm triple the size of that. In 2009* (six years ago according to " Fork in the Road" and seven years ago according to " Full Disclosure"), Daniel pitted Harvey and Louis against one another with the promise of partnership on the table, promising to give it to whoever does what needs to be done. The coup was said to be very swift as described by Harvey Specter ".you got up there fast" to Jessica. Sometime in 2003, Daniel, along with Jessica Pearson, had successfully staged a coup by convincing majority of the senior partners to vote out Stanley Gordon, Schmidt and Charles Van Dyke, creating Pearson Hardman. But a man who would do that is a man I find very difficult to trust." ― Harvey Specter to Mike Ross īefore the year 2003, Daniel was a senior partner at Gordon Schmidt Van Dyke. Turns out, he needed the money to support his mistress. He said his wife had cancer, and he needed the money to try and save her life.
