Scott practices in the areas of professional liability, construction litigation, and business litigation.
Prior to joining Larson • King, Scott served as trial counsel for individuals and companies in business and construction cases. Before that, he specialized in medical malpractice litigation at a nationally recognized Minneapolis law firm. Scott used his passion for trial and trial management to develop a career focused on trial advocacy.
Scott graduated summa cum laude from the Mitchell Hamline School of Law. Following law school, he bolstered his perspective of the litigation process by serving as a judicial law clerk in the Minnesota Court of Appeals for the Honorable Jill Flaskamp Halbrooks.
Scott has been involved in mock trial since high school. When his competing days were over, he turned to coaching his local high school’s team and joining the Minnesota State Bar Association’s Mock Trial Committee. He has also served as faculty for the National Institute for Trial Advocacy’s Building Trial Skills program.
Outside of practice, Scott enjoys spending time with his family and playing basketball and golf.
