Scott focuses his practice on several facets of business organizations and finance, including capital transactions for emerging businesses, syndications and private placements, joint ventures, acquisition and sale transactions and securities law.

He concentrates the majority of his practice on captive insurance, risk retention groups and other insurance-based transactions. With more than 15 years of experience in this field, Scott integrates clients’ business objectives with the complex tax considerations, regulatory requirements and securities law requirements that influence the structure of a captive. Most recently, Scott has been counsel in a number of significant transactions in the health care industry involving captives and risk retention groups for hospitals, physician groups and nursing homes.

Scott also has substantial experience in the acquisition, financing and syndication of real estate investments in which he structures partnerships and other investment vehicles and securities law compliance for those transactions. He is also general counsel to a number of middle market companies, where he handles acquisitions and divestitures, joint ventures, financings and their general corporate law needs.
