SYNOPSIS:

Michael Clayton is an in–house “fixer” at one of the largest corporate law firms in New York. At the behest of the firm‘s co–founder Marty Bach, Clayton, a former prosecutor from a family of cops, takes care of Kenner, Bach & Ledeen‘s dirtiest work. Clayton cleans up clients‘ messes, handling anything from hit–and–runs and damaging stories in the press to shoplifting wives and crooked politicians. Though burned out and discontented in his job, Clayton is inextricably tied to Kenner, Bach & Ledeen; a divorce, gambling habit, and a failed business venture have left him with mounting debt. At the agrichemical company U/North, the career of in–house counsel chief Karen Crowder rests on the multi–million dollar settlement of a class action suit that Clayton‘s firm is leading to a seemingly successful conclusion. When Kenner, Bach & Ledeen‘s top litigator, the brilliant Arthur Edens, has an apparent breakdown and subsequently tries to sabotage the entire U/North case, Michael Clayton is sent to tackle this unprecedented disaster and in doing so comes face to face with the reality of who he has become.
