After nearly three decades of operation, Pierce Law Group LLP has made the difficult decision to close its doors. In order to keep our late founder David Albert Pierce’s legacy alive, key Pierce Law Group personnel, including Managing Partner Aditya Ezhuthachan, Of Counsel Tony Hanna, and Controller Ben Kuerschner, will move the firm’s renowned entertainment legal practice to elite Beverly Hills boutique Pessah Law Group, PC (PLG).
All Pierce Law Group clients, old and new, who join us at PLG will benefit from an expanded slate of services and a more robust roster of experienced and talented attorneys.
Please visit the Pessah Law Group website for more information and contact us at our new home.
