Harvey Reginald Specter is a brilliant and charismatic corporate attorney portrayed by Gabriel Macht in the legal drama Suits. Known as “The Best Closer in New York,” Harvey began his career as an Assistant District Attorney before rising through the ranks at Pearson Hardman to become a senior partner and eventually managing partner of the firm, which underwent several name changes including Specter Litt and Zane Specter Litt Wheeler Williams.
Harvey is renowned for his unwavering, confidence, strategic thinking, and exceptional legal acumen. He’s a master negotiator who rarely loses a case, often relying on bold tactics and sharp wit. Despite his tough exterior, Harvey is deeply loyal to those he cares about—especially his protégé Mike Ross, his long-time secretary and eventual wife Donna Paulsen, and his mentor Jessica Pearson.
Throughout the series, Harvey evolves from a lone wolf into a more emotionally open leader, learning to balance his fierce independence with vulnerability and connection. His journey is marked by personal growth, ethical dilemmas, and a relentless pursuit of justice on his own terms.

Testimonial for Harvey Specter
The "Confidence and Results" Focus
"Harvey's confidence isn't arrogance—it's earned. I've watched him stare down federal prosecutors and corporate titans without blinking. He thrives in the pressure cooker. When you put a $100 million deal or the fate of your company in his hands, you can walk away knowing the case is already settled in your favor. He simply refuses to lose. Working with Harvey Specter is working with the best closer in New York, period." - Robert Zane (Former Senior Partner)
The "Strategic Genius" Focus
"My legal situation was the definition of 'no-win.' The deck was stacked, and every other lawyer just saw the path to a long, messy defeat. Harvey Specter saw a way out that no one else even considered. His strategies are unconventional, aggressive, and often infuriating to the opposing counsel, but they are always built to deliver. He's not just a lawyer; he's a master strategist who turns impossible situations into victories." - Ava Hessington (Oil Tycoon)
The "Best Closer" Focus
"When Stellar Holdings faced a hostile takeover, the board told me to prepare for a multi-year courtroom battle. I called Harvey Specter. He didn't just win; he engineered a solution that ended the dispute in two weeks and resulted in a favorable settlement that protected our key assets. Harvey is the rare combination of legal genius and a ruthless tactician. He doesn't go to trial to see if he can win—he closes the door on the competition before they even realize the game has started. If you want a closer, you hire Harvey." - James Cahill (CEO - Stellar Holdings Group)
