Pierson Ferdinand Shortlisted in Law.com International’s Leadership in Law Awards
The Firm is shortlisted for Best Law Firm Culture, and London Partner Odile Prevot is shortlisted for Outstanding Women in Law
New York, NY – October 27, 2026 – Pierson Ferdinand LLP (“PierFerd” or the “Firm”) has been shortlisted in the “Best Law Firm Culture” category of Law.com International’s 2026 Leadership in Law Awards. The recognition reflects the different kind of law firm PierFerd has built to deliver sophisticated legal services: a Partner-only, distributed structure that brings experienced lawyers directly to clients.
London Partner Odile Prevot was also shortlisted in the “Outstanding Women in Law – Law Firm” category. She brings more than 25 years’ experience in M&A and cross-border transactions to her practice, and she spent more than a decade leading a charity in West Africa focused on educating youth in the region.
A. Michael Pierson and Joel Ferdinand, Co-Chairmen at Pierson Ferdinand, said:
“We are incredibly proud of this recognition. Culture is a major cornerstone of PierFerd: well-adjusted human beings working together toward a common objective to do their best work for clients, alongside colleagues on which they can count. It belongs to every partner who has helped build and maintain that culture. Odile is a wonderful example of it in action. Her shortlisting is so well deserved.”
PierFerd’s culture is shaped by how it recruits. Beyond legal credentials and client relationships, the Firm deliberately seeks Partners who thrive in an entrepreneurial, distributed environment and collaborate across practices and geographies. As a result, clients get Partners with the experience and flexibility to take the best approach for each matter without being confined to particular tools, physical locations, or billable hour requirements.
Winners will be announced December 3 during a ceremony at the InterContinental Park Lane in London.
