Pam Mazza, Founding Partner of PilieroMazza, retired from the Firm as of January 1, 2023. The PilieroMazza family is grateful to Pam for building the foundation upon which we now stand. Having successfully established PilieroMazza as uniquely qualified to advance the best interests of our clients in the government contracting community, the Firm’s current leadership is well-positioned to carry on Pam’s legacy.

Pam gained national recognition for her 30+ years of advocacy supporting government contractors and commercial businesses. Under Pam’s leadership, PilieroMazza grew from its first iteration as a seven-attorney firm in the 1980s to the full-service business law firm it is today.

Pam was key to shaping PilieroMazza’s thought leadership across all practice groups—Government Contracts, Business & Transactions, Labor & Employment, and Litigation & Dispute Resolution—to keep clients abreast of legislative and regulatory changes that affect their businesses. Whether writing to legislators or speaking at a national conference, Pam’s tireless advocacy for business-friendly legislation and regulations helped PilieroMazza secure a reputation that clients value when seeking counsel to protect and further their business interests.
