Membership Key members:

Wolfram & Hart − Attorneys at Law is a fictional international and interdimensional law firm featured in the television series Angel, as well as other extended materials in Joss Whedon's Buffyverse.

"The Wolf, The Ram, and The Hart" are the names of the members in an ancient trio of true demons. The group was at one point, before the dawn of human history, considered relatively insignificant and was not regarded as a threat by the Old Ones. After humanity's triumph over the demons, they remained and slowly gained power and influence, eventually leaving this dimension altogether. In the present day on Earth, they are referred to as the Senior Partners by their employees and enact their will through various puppet organizations. One of the groups they command on Earth is the 'law firm' '"Wolfram & Hart"'.

While the Senior Partners have left Earth's dimension, the source of Wolfram & Hart's power, the Home Office, exists on Earth itself. Without the evil residing within every living person, the firm would not exist.

In the Buffy and Angel universe, the firm maintains offices in many major cities throughout the world. However, the only branch offices featured in the television series are in Los Angeles and Rome (both have identical interiors); in Italy, the firm is known as Wolfram e Hart.

The earthly manifestation of one of the Senior Partners is slain by Angel in the Los Angeles branch, in the episode "Reprise".

In Angel: After the Fall, the canonical comic book continuation of the television series, the Wolfram and Hart office buildings have retroactively vanished; the site is now being used for the construction of a "Doublemeat Palace" facility, and few people remember that there ever was a W&H branch there. In the Spike (2010–11) series however, Spike later observes that a Wolfram & Hart branch has sprung up in the heart of Las Vegas, Nevada.
