In this episode, Zach Posner sits down with Michael Pierson, Co-Chairman of Pierson Ferdinand LLP, a full-service law firm that has scaled to over 200 partners across 80+ practice areas and operates in 20+ global markets—all in under two years. PierFerd’s rapid growth and bold vision mark one of the most ambitious law firm launches in recent U.S. history.
Michael and Zach explore how law firm models are being reimagined from the ground up, through diverse leadership, technology-forward infrastructure, and a deeply client-centric approach. Drawing from a career that spans the SEC, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Lewis, and high-growth startups, Michael shares how regulation, private capital, and legal services are converging to shape the next era of legal innovation.
With deep expertise in securities law, FinTech, blockchain, private equity, and investment fund regulation, Michael breaks down what today’s legal clients actually need—and how elite firms must evolve to meet them. He also reflects on his time advising top-tier clients like Barclays and Silver Lake Partners, launching new practices, and co-founding a tech company that partnered with a global media giant.
Whether you’re a firm leader, operator, founder, or investor, this episode offers a masterclass in modern law firm building—from operational scale to regulatory depth to cultural transformation.
