After law school, Ferguson was a law clerk to judge Karen L. Henderson of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. He practiced antitrust law at the law firms Covington & Burling, Bancroft PLLC, and Sidley Austin, where he represented clients in private antitrust litigation and before the Federal Trade Commission and United States Department of Justice. From 2016 to 2017, he clerked for Justice Clarence Thomas of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Ferguson then served as chief counsel for nominations and the constitution to then chairman of the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Lindsey Graham, and as senior special counsel to then-judiciary committee chairman Chuck Grassley.
