Scott leads the firm's labor and employment and litigation practices.  He has been recognized by the publishers of Atlanta Magazine as a Georgia Super Lawyers Rising Star in labor and employment law.  This prestigious honor went to less than twenty labor and employment attorneys in the state of Georgia.

         Scott regularly counsels both private and public clients on various labor and employment and contract matters. He has appeared before federal and state courts and administrative agencies (including the NLRB, DOL and EEOC) throughout the United States.  He also has served as counsel in more than two dozen labor arbitrations, and has been a contributing editor for the treatises How Arbitration Works and Discipline and Discharge in Arbitration. 

         Before forming this Firm, Scott spent several years with the Atlanta labor and employment boutique Elarbee, Thompson, Sapp & Wilson, and later was a  partner with another Atlanta-based labor and immigration firm.  Both firms were AV-rated by the highly-regarded Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory.

         Scott received his undergraduate degree, with honors, from Dartmouth College in 1990.  During college, he was an exchange student at the London School of Economics and the University of Mainz, Germany, and worked as a DJ on the college’s FM radio station.  He then attended the College of William & Mary on a research fellowship in history and earned a Master’s degree in history from there in 1991.  Scott then worked as an editor for a legal publishing company before moving on to law school. 

          Scott graduated from the University of Florida College of Law, with honors, in 1995.  While at Florida, he served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Florida Journal of International Law.  He also worked as a research assistant for labor law professor Robert Moberly (now Dean of the University of Arkansas Law School), obtained the highest grade in the course “Negotiation and Mediation,” was awarded a teaching assistant fellowship in the law school’s Legal Research & Writing course, and served both as Editor of the school’s weekly newspaper and on the Executive Board of the Student Bar Association.  In 1995, he was a recipient of the President’s Award for outstanding contributions to the University.

Scott is admitted to the Georgia and Florida Bars, and maintains an active presence in both states.  Since 1998, he has served on Board of Governors for the Florida Bar Young Lawyers Division, and in June 2007 became President of the 22,000-lawyer Division for 2007-08.  He previously served two terms as President of the Florida Bar's Out-of-State Division. Scott also serves on the Board of Directors for the Atlanta Bar Association Small/Solo Firm Practitioners Section and on the Executive Council of the Dartmouth Club of Georgia.
