Pierponters are passionate about knowledge sharing and continuous learning. In fact, Pierpont’s team from across all our offices regularly guest lecture and speak at colleges and universities, in the media, and at professional conferences. And three of our senior leaders are professors at Rice University, The University of Texas in Austin and the University of Houston.
