Since 1993, Emmanuel Pierrat has been a lawyer in Paris. In 2003, he co-founded the law firm Pierrat & Associés, which consists of about ten lawyers and is co-directed by Sophie Viaris de Lesegno. In 2017, he partnered with criminal defense lawyer Carbon de Seze, a former secretary of the conference and a former member of the Bar Council.

As a lawyer, he defended individuals in several high-profile cases, such as Sandrine Bertaux's sexual harassment complaint against demographer and historian Hervé Le Bras, and Michel Houellebecq in a lawsuit related to his remarks about Islam. He also represented the owner of the domain name Jeboycottedanone.com in a case against Danone, although this case was not successful. Emmanuel Pierrat defended Denis Baupin, a member of parliament accused of sexual assault and harassment, but faced setbacks in the case, including being found guilty of "abusive procedure." He also defended the family of Yann Moix in a case related to allegations made in his book "Orléans," and assisted Edouard Louis in a legal matter arising from his book "History of Violence." Emmanuel Pierrat has been involved in matters related to literary and artistic property rights, including representing Bill Pallot in a case involving the Château de Versailles and supporting singer Stephan Eicher in a dispute with Universal.
He has provided legal counsel to various authors, including Guillaume Musso and Anna Gavalda, and is known for his support of same-sex marriage. He was an advocate for the same-sex couples in Bègles.
In June 2020, he received unpublished manuscripts of Louis-Ferdinand Céline from journalist Jean-Pierre Thibaudat. Subsequently, he faced legal challenges related to these manuscripts but ultimately avoided legal action. During this period, he also shared the existence of the manuscripts with journalist Jérôme Dupuis, which was reported in Le Monde.
