Whether working with an emerging company or an established enterprise, an issuer of securities or an investor, Scott distills his years of experience in business formations, business combinations and securities offerings into clear advice his clients can use. Scott prides himself on his ability to take a fresh look at a problem or issue while drawing on past experience to arrive at a straightforward and streamlined solution.

Throughout his career, Scott has worked with buyers and sellers, issuers, investors and underwriters in numerous private placements, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and public offerings. As a result, he understands the unique concerns and perspectives of each of these participants, helping his clients both to plan ahead for these transactions and to understand what motivates their counterparts when these transactions occur.
