Boston, MA – October 31, 2024 – Pierson Ferdinand LLP (“PierFerd”), one of the world’s fastest-growing law firms, announces the appointment of Daniel Rose as Partner.

Daniel is an avid educator and author on patent jurisprudence. He regularly delivers presentations on software patentability, improving the knowledge and skills of in-house counsels and private attorneys and frequently speaks at flagship conventions for key industry players.

Daniel joins PierFerd’s world-class IP Department – led by Christopher R. Kinkade and Naira Simmons – with a remit to expand PierFerd’s IP offering in rapidly developing technological fields such as AI, blockchain, and cybersecurity.
