  • Cooper-Fozard the TEAM
    Cooper-Fozard THE TEAM Robson Green plays Stephen Bradley Age: 41 Position: Partner Stephen is a maverick partner, brilliant lawyer and esteemed team leader. He is renowned across the City both for his unusual methods of practicing law and his astonishingly successful track-record. He has a humane quality which marks him out from other, more conventional, lawyers. As he professes: “ You do the people first and the law second” . Stephen is instinctive and passionate, hard-working and loyal. But his loyalty is divided between his two families: on the one hand, Teresa and the boys; on the other, his team. His work has always been his priority and recently his marriage has taken even more of a back seat. The cracks are beginning to show. Robson Green: Soldier, Soldier was Robson Green’s first major TV series, and he has since gone on to star in some of British television’s most memorable dramas, including The Gambling Man, Ain’t Misbehavin’, Reckless, Touching Evil, and Grafters. He will shortly be seen in ITV’s Wire In The Blood. Sarah Parish plays Annie Naylor Age: 34 Position: Lawyer, striving for partnership Annie is on her second career already. With an appetite for the bigger things in life, Annie decided that teaching National Curriculum English wasn’t enough for her, so re-trained as a lawyer. She is driven, focused and tough when she needs to be. With an acerbic wit, Annie has become an expert lawyer and silky smooth negotiator whom others fear. Becoming a partner would set the seal on her professional aspirations.
