Before joining Pierson Ferdinand, Julie was an Equity Partner at Fortis Law Partners LLC. Prior to that, Julie practiced corporate and securities law for more than eight years at major international law firms, Morrison & Foerster’s Denver and Hong Kong offices, and Jones Day’s Chicago office. In 2004, she started her own clothing business, grew the business over three years, and successfully sold it in 2007. Her experience managing the entire lifecycle of a business adds value to her work with clients.

Each client has varying demands and requirements, and Julie has earned a reputation for respecting the unique qualities of each of her clients. Her approach is refreshingly down-to-earth as she meets her clients’ business objectives while appropriately addressing the legal and business risks. Having been on both sides of the desk, she understands the importance of timeliness, efficiency, and other factors that create quality customer service—and that is what she delivers.
