The law firm founded by former FisherBroyles managing partners started operating on Tuesday with nearly half the lawyers from their previous firm, including several practice chairs and rainmakers. Meanwhile, a C-suite of former Big Law executives have accepted positions at the newly founded firm.

Leaders at newly created firm Pierson Ferdinand said offer letters have been signed by more than 130 FisherBroyles lawyers, many of whom are the firm’s “highest-producers,” practice group chairs and co-chairs in a variety of practices. Before the exits, FisherBroyles had more than 280 lawyers.
