PRACTICE
Commercial Transactions
Overview
Pierson Ferdinand’s commercial practice is well-versed in all facets of commercial relationships, regardless of their scale, and offers expertise in various aspects of the law that influence commercial transactions. Our attorneys provide comprehensive support in areas such as contracts, business combinations, joint ventures, and a wide range of other arrangements.
We have a rich history of acting as a “general counsel” for numerous clients, offering tailored solutions that range from short-term targeted engagements to fully outsourced legal support for clients who may lack in-house legal resources or require additional capabilities. Drawing from our extensive experience, we focus on delivering practical risk assessments rather than merely identifying issues, and presenting innovative problem-solving strategies in advance.
