Played by Rhona Mitra

Tara Wilson was one of the four original main characters of Boston Legal who had carried over from the final season of The Practice. On that show, she played a paralegal at Young, Frutt & Berluti before she was fired and moved to Crane, Poole & Schmidt. By the time of the pilot episode of Boston Legal, she was no longer a paralegal and had become a first-year attorney.

While Tara did not have a lot of casework on the show, she is best-known for her relationship with Alan Shore. The two met when they both worked at Young, Frutt & Berluti. Tara is one of the few women who has played "hard-to-get" with Alan, rejecting his various sexual advances and suggestions throughout The Practice until their relationship was finally consummated at the end of episode 1x06 [Truth Be Told]. Their relationship continued until episode 2x02 [Schadenfreude], when Alan "caught her laughing with another man" - her ex-boyfriend Malcolm Holmes - and realized he had lost her. Tara announced that she was leaving the firm in 2x03 [Finding Nimmo], which was also her last appearance on the show.
