Scott concentrates his practice in corporate, securities and captive insurance law. He is an experienced corporate and securities attorney and assists clients in transactions including debt and equity financing and mergers and acquisitions, as well as with securities law issues.

He also has significant experience assisting clients in both traditional and non-traditional insurance law matters, and has represented numerous captive and rent-a-captive insureds and reinsurers, primarily in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.

Among his recent transactions are the formation of a Cayman Island domiciled captive insurance company to insure medical malpractice for a large Florida hospital and the $20,000,000 private placement of stock of an insurance holding company in the Cayman Islands, while allowing the company to maintain its non-controlled foreign corporation tax status.

A frequent speaker at seminars throughout the U.S. and internationally, Scott regularly discusses the legal issues surrounding the formation of captives and the alternative insurance market, along with other alternative risk management methods. 

Scott co-chaired the Insurance Law Practice Group of TerraLex, a network of 145 law firms representing all 50 states and 93 foreign countries. Published in the June 2005 issue of Philadelphia magazine, Scott was recognized as a 2005 Pennsylvania Super Lawyer by being selected by his peers among the top 5 percent of lawyers in the Commonwealth. He was also selected in 2004.
