Marvel's The Defenders: Every Character Confirmed So Far
7. Jeri Hogarth
Confirmed By: An official casting announcement, which also mentioned Foggy and Malcolm, but their actors had already let it slip. No wonder Carrie Anne Moss makes such a convincing lawyer.
Plot Predictions: After Claire, Jeri Hogarth is the next connective thread between all the shows, having starred in Jessica Jones, made a cameo in Daredevil, and appeared throughout Iron Fist too.
That means she's someone who can work with and help all of these characters - it's surely nailed-on that she'll meet Luke Cage here - although it remains to be seen how much legal advice they'll be needing.
Outside of potentially helping Luke get out of prison, if the Defenders are investigating a trail that includes various corporations - and we've seen how the Hand has infiltrated them in Iron Fist - then her services can be of use in that, tackling some of the paperwork trail to assist the Defenders in their mission while they go out and kick-ass.
