Tune-In Reminder: “Street Legal” Comes to Ovation TV on June 7

Iconic Canadian character-driven legal drama Street Legal returns with both familiar faces and new characters. Bringing Street Legal into the 21st century, we pick up with Olivia Novak (Cynthia Dale), now a named partner at a major Bay Street law firm. She prepares a massive class-action lawsuit against the manufacturer of a widely-prescribed and ultra-addictive opioid that her firm is depending on to keep solvent during a time of upheaval — but Olivia’s blind-sided when the case is stolen out from under her. RDL Legal, an unknown boutique law firm has been working on the same case and files with the courts first, leaving Olivia’s partners to question why she didn’t see this coming.

Lilly Rue (Cara Ricketts), Adam Darling (Steve Lund), and Mina Lee (Yvonne Chapman) are the named partners and only lawyers of RDL Legal — three tenacious young lawyers whose mutual respect and admiration for one another challenges Olivia and her usual methods. Adam is a charmer and the lawyer with personal stakes in the opioid case. It was his father, an Anglican priest, who brought him the idea of a lawsuit after Adam’s mother became heavily addicted to the opioids she was prescribed. Mina’s specialty is organization, preferring to do the work behind the scenes, using her sharp mind for research and strategy. Finding her skills went unrecognized on Bay Street, she brought together Adam, her close friend since law school, and the virtuoso, Lilly Rue, to form their own firm. Lilly is a star litigator and the type to pick causes, looking to effect change through the cases she takes on. To Olivia’s amusement, her own investigator, Derek Leiber (Patrick Labbé), can’t help being drawn in by Lilly’s allure and unconventional lifestyle.
