With nearly five decades of experience, Judge Pierce brings extensive civil law experience to ADR firm

LOS ANGELES, May 28, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Signature Resolution, a leader in alternative dispute resolution, is proud to announce the addition of Hon. Mark H. Pierce (Ret.) to its panel of neutrals. Judge Pierce will join Hon. Peter H. Kirwan (Ret.) to spearhead the firm’s recently announced Silicon Valley office, bringing with him a rich legacy of legal acumen and a commitment to enhancing the mediation and arbitration landscape.

“I am exceptionally grateful for the opportunity to continue using my expertise and mediation skills to find solutions for clients that satisfy everyone. Everyone deserves an opportunity to speak and be listened to. This will be an opportunity afforded in all of the cases I oversee.”

“Joining Signature Resolution is an honor I don’t take lightly,” said Judge Pierce. “I am exceptionally grateful for the opportunity to continue using my expertise and mediation skills to find solutions for clients that satisfy everyone at the mediation table. I firmly believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to speak and be listened to, and I am proud to say that this will be an opportunity afforded in all of the cases I oversee.”

Judge Pierce began his legal career in 1975, following his deep-rooted interest in history and political science. After gaining significant experience at prestigious law firms like Clark & Glennon and Kelly, Legal, and Olimpia, Judge Pierce became a partner at Olson & Pierce. His practice areas have included personal injury, workers’ compensation, business disputes, employment, liability, medical malpractice and real estate. A standout moment in his career was the successful resolution of a case for a Vietnamese diaspora victim, which not only recovered significant financial losses but also cemented Judge Pierce’s reputation as a formidable and compassionate advocate.

“We are thrilled to announce the addition of Judge Pierce as one of the first panelists to join our expansion into Silicon Valley,” said Dario Higuchi, Signature Resolution founding partner and managing member. “Having known Judge Pierce for years, we are confident in his success, bringing his extensive experience from his time in private practice along with 15 years on the Santa Clara County bench, to our firm. We are excited for him to join us as we continue to expand our presence in Northern California.”

Influenced by family friends who served on the bench, Judge Pierce was inspired to pursue a career as a judge during his time in private practice. In 2005, his legal expertise and esteemed reputation led to his appointment by then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to the Santa Clara County Superior Court, a role he held with distinction for 15 years. His tenure on the bench was marked by a commitment to patience and active listening, principles he continues to uphold in his mediation practice.

At Signature Resolution, Judge Pierce will serve as a mediator and arbitrator, prioritizing fostering fairness across all cases. He emphasizes the importance of comprehensive listening skills to earn trust and understanding from participants. Believing in the efficacy of mediation, he aims to achieve optimal outcomes for all parties involved through empathetic resolution processes.

Yon Raz-Fridman Joins Intrinsic Labs as Co-Founder and Partner

Published

April 30, 2026

Most AI companies are selling software. Intrinsic is deploying AI workers into the core operations of mid-market companies – and just brought in a serial tech entrepreneur to help the firm scale across the Heartland.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Intrinsic Labs today announced that Yon Raz-Fridman has joined the firm as a Co-Founder and Partner.

Raz-Fridman has spent nearly two decades building across software, hardware, and platform businesses. Early in his career, he served as Chief of Staff to the President of Keter Group, a $1 billion-plus global consumer products manufacturer. He went on to co-found Kano, the award-winning educational computing company, and later founded Supersocial, the immersive gaming studio acquired by Super League Enterprises in 2025. He is a member of the World Economic Forum’s Technology Convergence Council.

He joins Intrinsic at a moment when mid-market companies are moving from AI experimentation to deployment. Intrinsic works with operators in logistics, construction, insurance, manufacturing, and industrial markets to deploy AI workers into the workflows that run the business – increasing throughput, reducing manual work, and expanding capacity without adding headcount.

The firm has built its reputation on practical deployments tied to real operating metrics. In one engagement with a national real estate brokerage, Intrinsic’s AI Accounting Agents reached 97% invoice coding accuracy, automated 90% of the AP workflow, and fully removed FTEs from the review flow.

“Yon understands what it takes to build and scale in the real world,” said Jon Slemp, Managing Partner at Intrinsic Labs. “Our clients aren’t buying flashy agents, they’re buying outcomes and reliable labor. They need agentic systems that take work off their teams, perform reliably, and produce measurable gains in throughput and capacity. That’s what we build.”

As Co-Founder, Raz-Fridman will oversee Intrinsic’s expansion – designing the channel relationships, institutional partnerships, and market positioning that take the firm from a proven Ohio model to the defining AI workforce platform for America’s industrial middle market.

“The companies that win over the next decade will be the ones that figure out how to staff AI into their operations and manage it like a workforce. Intrinsic is doing that work now, inside real businesses, tied to real outputs. The Heartland is exactly the right place to prove this model, and Intrinsic is exactly the right team to do it.” — Yon Raz-Fridman
