20 issues with Suits that loyal fans choose to overlook

19. Keith Hoyt’s Poker Contract

Trending

The storyline where Keith Hoyt gambles away his company while intoxicated ignores basic contract law. Contracts signed under intoxication are voidable, making this plot point legally unsound. Suits leans on the drama of the situation but ignores that any competent lawyer could have easily nullified the agreement. While the poker game adds tension and showcases Harvey’s strategy, it sacrifices realism for storytelling. A more plausible conflict, such as a high-stakes negotiation, could have achieved the same impact without stretching legal principles.
