Pierson joins the firm from Clifford Chance, where she was a director in the incentives group for more than four years. Prior to this, she was senior counsel at Virgin Media and previously worked at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Bowman Gilfillan.

She also has experience in advising on incentives for private equity portfolio companies, including acquisitions and disposals, incentives for management and the unwinding of EBTs.
