PRACTICE

Technology

Overview

Technology plays a pivotal role in distinguishing companies in the modern global marketplace. The Pierson Ferdinand Technology Team is a trusted partner to both vendors and customers, aiding them in shaping and executing strategies that set them apart from competitors. Our comprehensive support includes advising clients on the establishment, utilization, and safeguarding of their intellectual property portfolios. 

  • Full Spectrum of Business Transactions

    Like traditional large law firms, we regularly assist clients in the full spectrum of business transactions and related company matters, a large portion of which involves mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, banking and credit, employment, regulatory, corporate governance and board advisory, intellectual property, and financial restructuring and reorganization, among others.  

  • Leveraging Technology

    Our Corporate team leverages cutting edge technology in all aspects of practice and our diverse all-partner teams focus on what matters most to our clients and stakeholders, delivering outcomes through shared values of strength, diversity, and collaboration.  

  • Forging Close Partnerships

    We believe in forging close partnerships with our clients to better understand their business operations, enabling us to provide more effective counsel and to deliver exceptional value during pivotal moments that often shape profoundly the trajectory and success of our clients’ businesses.

  • Effective Low-Leverage Platform

    Our unique low-leverage platform is not only more cost-effective, it allows us to focus on fewer, targeted engagements than our peers at traditional, elite law firms. This model allows us to get closer to our clients and to know their  businesses, preferences, and cadence, and to ultimately meet our clients where they are.

Capabilities

Our practice spans various essential areas, including software licensing, hardware procurement, software development, consulting arrangements, technology distribution, IT outsourcing, and more. We excel in software as a service (SaaS), smart metering, portable data terminal equipment, mission-critical telecommunications infrastructure, and sporting event sponsorship.

In addition to transactional expertise, we offer support in technology liability and litigation, handling a wide range of issues from programming errors to privacy breaches. The Pierson Ferdinand Technology Team serves clients across diverse industries, including banking and financial services, biotechnology, energy and utilities, insurance, manufacturing, media and entertainment, retail, technology, and travel and hospitality.
