* Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway, the law firm that employed ComicBook/SheHulk for a time during the Dan Slott run, specialised in dealing with superhero-related and supernatural cases (although they represented aliens and underground civilizations, too). The later Charles Soule-written run had Jennifer operating as a solo practitioner, with many of her cases involving superpeople.
* Wolff and Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre, ''Webcomic/SupernaturalLaw''.
-->''Beware the Creatures of the Night — they have '''lawyers'''!''

* In the Literature/{{Discworld}} fic of Creator/AAPessimal, the unique law firm of Slant, Morecombe and Honeyplace is an occasional location. They are instrumental in devising the Lancre Protocol -- an attempt to legally regulate the privileges a vampire actually ''does'' have when invited into somebody else's home. After the [[Literature/CarpeJugulum regrettable business in Lancre]] where it was universally accepted a vampire went a little bit ''too'' far with the accepted age-old common law right and took over the entire kingdom once invited into the king's castle, Mr Slant created a whole sub-regulatory framework clearly defining the terms and conditions inherent on inviting the vampire into your home, with strict binding clauses on both invitee and invited. As he pointed out, vampires enjoy being invited to social parties and dinners too and the host should have a clear expectation that nobody's going to be bitten. [[VoluntaryVampireVictim Unless they clearly express a wish to be.]] (Clause 27 (iii) (c).) Quite clearly common law, being an untidy mass of unwritten verbal agreements, needed to be ratified within a legal framework. Thus, a vampire in Ankh-Morpork needs to sign a legal disclaimer before being invited into the premises. For instance, Sally von Humpeding has a "season ticket" for visiting Ramkin Manor. The thorny issue of a vampire policewoman not being able to enter a house to make arrests or perform a search, should the householder refuse to grant her permission, is being examined separately by Mr Slant as an urgent issue requiring much legal consideration.
* The Literature/HarryPotter story [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8423230/14/Amber-and-Emerald Amber and Emerald]] has a goblin and witch law firm of [[GroinAttack Gripsack and Twist]], who are a surprisingly reputable if aptly vicious team.

* ''Film/TheDevilsAdvocate'' has Keanu Reeves join [[{{Satan}} Milton]], Chadwick and Waters. Creator/AlPacino plays [[LouisCypher Milton]]. They are knee-deep in organised crime and are willing to murder those who betray or threaten to expose them, but seek to accomplish their amoral goals chiefly through litigation -- the point of the exercise being to demonstrate the world unsustainable through LoopholeAbuse;
-->'''Milton:''' Because the law, my boy, puts us into everything. It's the ultimate backstage pass. It's the new priesthood, baby. Did you know there are more students in law school than lawyers walking the Earth? We're coming out -- guns blazing! The two of you, all of us, acquittal after acquittal after acquittal, until the stench of it reaches so high and far into Heaven, it chokes the whole fucking lot of them!

** The firm [[spoiler: end up being the BigBad and FinalBoss of the serial; the demons they work with are AlwaysChaoticEvil beings that seek a Class X-4 (destruction of the universe) if not Class Z (destruction of reality) level [[ApocalypseHow Apocalypse]], so when circumstances arise in which they can hasten this, they stop being dangerous peripheral characters and start fighting in earnest.]]
** While they enjoy enormous power and clout within the supernatural community, as per usual for this trope, it's a rather horrible place to work; when [[spoiler: Ms Lewis]] is blasted in the chest at point-blank range with a rifle (taking the full, gory damage an ordinary human would,) she recovers in minutes and says "My continued ''employment'' supercedes death" but also "it's been a few long months since I felt proper ''agony''."
* As mentioned below, while the heroes in the ''Literature/CraftSequence'' novels aren't always employed by law firms, the Craft is effectively treating as practicing law with the universe. The first novel, ''Three Parts Dead,'' is about a necromancer employed by a firm of sorcerers who is sent to help carve up and resurrect a city's patron god in what's effectively a divine form of bankruptcy restructuring.

* Wolfram & Hart from ''Series/{{Angel}}'' start off as just a particularly evil-aligned example of this trope, but are later revealed to be the front organisation for an extremely powerful trio of extra-dimensional demons, the titular Wolf, Ram, and Hart. They claim the "senior partners" draw power from pretty much all human evils (so they are invested in making sure the world provides plenty of opportunities and pressures for people to do evil things) and are the main force behind the final apocalypse [[TheWorldIsAlwaysDoomed in a setting where there are dozens of them queued up]].
* Cole from ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'' originally posed as an Assistant District Attorney while he was plotting to kill the sisters and, after that collapsed, was employed by various law firms over the course of the series. [[EvilLawyerJoke You were a lawyer and a demon? The jokes write themselves.]]

* The Dark Skies Corporation from ''TabletopGame/BleakWorld'' is this and [[MegaCorp a bunch of]] [[NGOSuperpower other stuff]]. They harvest the souls of their clients for some unknown purpose and are lead by [[CorruptCorporateExecutive a group of]] [[AmoralAttorney evil lawyers who]] [[EvilLawyerJoke sold their souls for immortality and all the legal knowledge there is]].

* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': According to the supplemental materials, the Soldier somehow managed to become an AmoralAttorney. He even ended up advising the two recently deceased Mann Brothers about how they each needed to send the other to hell to pick up their inheritance. The implausibility of the Soldier passing his bar exams is {{lampshaded}} and then HandWaved with a remarkably literal example of AWizardDidIt. It sure helped him having Merasmus as a roommate for a time.
* ''[[Creator/ChoiceOfGames Choice of the Deathless]]'' is a [[{{Gamebooks}} CYOA game]] with a protagonist who is a lawyer-sorcerer fresh out of the bar exam and signs up with the Varkath, Nebuchadnezzar, & Stone firm, and goes through several story arcs where the protagonist uses legal acumen and [[FunctionalMagic the Craft]] to deal with intra- and inter-office politics, a pro bono job to get a demon out of a bad labor contract, litigating one of the few surviving deities, and sorting out a contract dispute between an energy corporation and a race of demons. This game shares a setting with the ''Literature/CraftSequence'' novels.

* ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'' reveals that the Patterner (the verse's version Tzeentch) actually lost a lawsuit to Tzeentch as regards being the god of change, with Tzeentch's lawyer being a [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Lord of Change]] and the Patterner's... a hat with googly eyes.

* The law firm Mack goes to in ''Literature/TalesOfMU''. Technically all law firms given the high fantasy setting, but this one is played as more willing than most to represent non-humans, apparently they've worked for greater Dragons in the past.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owhgeSUgq-Q Jun Ishikawa]], a character from the ''Nansei'' series (a set of musical albums and stories inspired by the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' franchise, but lacking actual games, created by [=LENK64=] aka Miki Hiroyuki) is an [[GodOfEvil evil god]] [[EvilLawyerJoke who is also apparently an attorney]].

If we aren't exactly what you are looking for, we recommend you check out the AmoralAttorney or RulesLawyer, instead. Although [[EvilLawyerJoke a few on our retainer]] could easily count as those, too.

* Mann, Levinn and Lewis from ''Literature/{{Pact}}''. A firm composed of practitioners, almost all diabolists, who offered their top-notch services (and their identities) to demons in exchange for the cleansing of their karmic debt, just to avoid the consequences of a botched summoning and/or to avoid death-by-diabolist-hunters. [[AffablyEvil They're cheerfully upfront about wanting this fate for the protagonist,]] which is why they assist him so that he can live long enough to one day be backed into a corner and take the deal. This is an unusual case of this trope for two reasons:
** The firm [[spoiler: end up being the BigBad and FinalBoss of the serial; the demons they work with are AlwaysChaoticEvil beings that seek a Class X-4 (destruction of the universe) if not Class Z (destruction of reality) level [[ApocalypseHow Apocalypse]], so when circumstances arise in which they can hasten this, they stop being dangerous peripheral characters and start fighting in earnest.]]

Our rates are reasonable, our hours excellent. We accept credit card, check, or [[BreadEggsMilkSquick virgin sacrifice]]. Pro bono work is not a speciality of ours, but should we consider it, we most certainly [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial do not]] have [[DealWithTheDevil our own reasons]] beyond potential [[WorkOffTheDebt future, gainful employment]].

* In one ''ComicStrip/{{Nodwick}}'' story, the heroes have to get past a pair of "infernal law clerks" to get to an evil wizard's palace, whom Artax calls "devils with the details". The two are foiled by Piffany after they fail to find anything immoral or unethical in her record worse than swatting a fly, and become so shaken up by the "morally superior being" that she [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame fools them into signing a contract without reading it]], which gets rid of them.

* The Literature/HarryPotter story [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8423230/14/Amber-and-Emerald Amber and Emerald]] has a goblin and witch law firm of [[GroinAttack Gripsack and Twist]], who are a surprisingly reputable, if aptly vicious team.

They don't necessarily specialize in supernatural cases, but then, nor do the firms run by living human lawyers specialize in mundane cases; that's just the kind of world Discworld is.
