From discussing an initial scope of work to developing a mutually beneficial fee arrangement, Pierce Atwood prides itself on tailoring solutions to the particular needs of a client. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to innovative pricing, and the best ideas are the result of a candid dialogue between Pierce Atwood and its clients.

Supporting this collaborative approach, each Pierce Atwood client is assigned a Responsible Attorney whose role is to ensure that the firm delivers superior and responsive service at every level. While clients often build relationships with multiple attorneys and work directly with them, the Responsible Attorney serves as the primary point of contact, helping coordinate the team and maintain clear communication with the firm. We approach every engagement with the highest ethical standards, take conflicts of interest extremely seriously, and devote significant resources to safeguarding the confidentiality of our clients’ information.

Offering a "value proposition" has become popular among law firms. But it's not really the name that matters - it's the substance and service we provide our clients. Our value proposition is simple: we have some of the best lawyers in the country who, because of our lower cost structure, have very reasonable rates. We have partners in the firm who have successfully served Fortune 100 companies in the most complex matters, at rates often lower than associate rates at other metropolitan firms.

In addition, because of our collaborative culture, we get your work to the right attorney, in terms of expertise, industry knowledge, and experience level; and we staff leanly. We don't "pour it on" so to speak. The result is great service and great results at a fair price. That's our value proposition.

Pierce Atwood has 150 attorneys who provide a broad array of services. We don't do everything, but what we do, we do well.

Not only do we have strong expertise and bench strength in key areas such as corporate law, litigation, real estate, intellectual property and technology, energy, and environmental law,  we offer holistic, rather than siloed, services and solutions. For example, a client with a privacy issue can call on not just an attorney who has privacy expertise, but one who has privacy expertise in its industry, and one who has seen the issue not just from a transactional standpoint, but from a litigation standpoint as well. In any given situation, this may be one attorney or it may be colleagues working together. But in all cases, we provide a complete solution for all our clients.

Our success depends on the value we provide our clients, and our culture has long been a key factor in our ability to provide that value. Preserving our client-focused, one-firm culture is key to our strategy for success. To acknowledge this important connection, we have distilled our culture into this set of guiding principles:
