Pierson Ferdinand’s highly effective and neutral mediators and arbitrators are dedicated to helping parties resolve their disputes through open communication, reconciliation, and skillful negotiation. We actively foster an environment that allows the involved parties to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their cases while presenting creative solutions that lead to mutually acceptable settlements.

  • Trial-Tested Litigation Prowess

    Our Litigation team excels in discerning the critical aspects of a case and collaborates closely with our clients to ensure that litigation is managed in a manner that advances their ultimate objectives. We work diligently to resolve immediate issues and help our clients avoid similar challenges in the future, while striving to provide value-add to our clients in an effective representation.

  • Bench Strength and Industry Experienced

    PierFerd Litigation partners provide clients across various industries globally with comprehensive commercial litigation and dispute resolution services. From coast to coast, in state and federal courts, our experience spans from appellate to high-stakes commercial and corporate fraud litigation, to IP and insurance related disputes, with the ability to scale up for our clients as and when necessary.

  • Client-Focused Approach to Disputes

    We view our seasoned litigators as an extension of our clients’ in-house legal teams, working collaboratively to achieve optimal outcomes through strategic partnership, early intervention, and a comprehensive approach to dispute resolution.

  • Team-Orientated, Comprehensive Strategies

    We seamlessly collaborate with other practice groups to leverage and bring to bear the appropriate industry experience wherever necessary, ensuring litigation strategies are comprehensively addressed, including matters related to banking and financial services, cyber-risk, healthcare, insurance, intellectual property, employment and labor, and real estate, among others.

Capabilities

Our experience spans general civil litigation matters, with emphasis in disputes concerning employment and labor; commercial conflicts involving manufacturers, customers, vendors, business partners, affiliates, and insurers/insureds; complex commercial; corporate (mergers and acquisitions), and construction.

With over forty years of combined experience successfully negotiating and resolving these disputes, our team possesses a deep understanding of the perspectives of both defendants and plaintiffs. We firmly believe that the right mediator can make a substantial difference in the resolution of litigated and non-litigated issues. Even if your mediation session does not result in an immediate settlement, we remain committed to keeping open the lines of communication and working diligently to bring about a resolution. And, when a matter must be arbitrated, our arbitrators are schedule-oriented to move an arbitration along timely, and remain committed to the arbitration until it is resolved.
