Scott chose to practice in both estates and business litigation because he is driven by a desire to help clients navigate some of the most complex and emotionally charged challenges they face. In business disputes, he is motivated by the fast pace and strategic thinking required to advocate for clients’ commercial interests. In estates and trusts matters, Scott is drawn to the human side of litigation—helping individuals resolve deeply personal conflicts with clarity and compassion.
In both business and estate and trust litigation, Scott is valued for his steady presence, strategic thinking, and ability to stay focused in high-stakes situations. He understands that litigation can be stressful and uncertain, whether it’s a dispute over commercial interests or a conflict involving family and legacy. These qualities are invaluable in the courtroom, where Scott’s oral advocacy skills enable him to present arguments with confidence and persuasion.
Working closely with our senior partners, Scott assists in crafting legally sound and economically practical solutions tailored to each client’s unique situation and goals.
