Margulies won two Primetime Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe for her work on the program. Beginning with the third season (in 2011), Margulies served as a producer for The Good Wife. The series came to a conclusion in May 2016.

Alicia Florrick and Carol Hathaway were both characters she was equally happy with portraying, she said in an interview for the Series Mania Festival in 2019.
Since 2013, Margulies has lent her voice to an annual Chase credit card ad. In 2014, she served as the voiceover talent for the “Women in Business” episode of the second season of the documentary series Makers: Women Who Make America.
