History[]
Xander Epstein is a lawyer specializing in tech law who works at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. At some point, he began a relationship with Sheila Sazs and became engaged to her, prompting her to leave her position at Harvard Law School and working at Columbia University. Sheila constantly cheated on him by engaging in multiple sexual affairs with her ex-boyfriend, Louis Litt.[1] However, when Sheila informed Louis that she would still be marrying Xander, Louis picked a legal battle against Xander, intending to humiliate him in Sheila's eyes.
While initially besting Louis, he was defeated and agreed to settle for $30 million plus an addition in the paperwork that Louis had beaten him and was the superior lawyer, although Louis increased the amount to $50 million after Xander insults him. Days away from their marriage, Xander focused intensely on Louis instead of Sheila, and with his career in the crossfires, Sheila asked Louis to drop the matter, prompting Louis to amend the settlement to minimalize the amount Xander's clients would have to pay. Touched that Louis had sabotaged his own victory for her sake, Sheila broke up with Xander to resume her relationship with Louis.[2]
