How is Pierson Ferdinand different from other large law firms? We are the happiest law firm in the United States. Each of our partners enjoys autonomy over their practices and rates with a completely transparent compensation system that actually promotes intra-firm collaboration. There is no minimum-billable requirement. The technology platform and back-office support is best in class, customizable and flexible. The administrative staff treats the attorneys like valued clients. There is no firm bureaucracy or unnecessary overhead. This allows us to both realize greater profit and share competitive cost savings with our clients. We practice better.
