About
Having served in both legal and executive leadership roles, I bring a practical understanding of the business, operational, and strategic challenges companies face as they grow. My approach is business-oriented and focused on helping clients move transactions forward while managing risk.
My practice focuses on commercial contracts, strategic transactions, and ongoing legal support for growth-stage and middle-market businesses. I regularly… read more negotiate and advise on customer and vendor agreements, SaaS agreements, partnership and joint venture arrangements, commercial leases and site agreements, operating agreements, and other complex business transactions. As an embedded legal and business partner, I help companies execute transactions efficiently and support long-term growth.

Client Reviews
"Scott was knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with. He carefully reviewed the documents, asked the right questions, and provided clear recommendations. Overall, a very positive experience."
"Scott was great and got into my request right away. Very appreciative for his hard work and professionalism."
"Scott reviewed and revised the full set of customer-facing legal documents for my B2B SaaS platform — Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Subscription & Billing Terms, and an Account Deletion page — on a fixed fee, and the work was considerably better than I expected. What set it apart is that he reconciled the documents to what my software actually does, instead of writing aspirational boilerplate. He removed a nonpayment grace period my code didn't enforce, stripped out a self-service data export I don't offer, and turned an absolute "deleted within 90 days" promise into language my system can actually honor. He also flagged, unprompted, the one provision whose accuracy depended on a technical configuration he couldn't see from the outside, and told me exactly what to verify with my engineer. That kind of self-flagging is rare and it's exactly what you want. The deliverables were practical, not just filed away: a section-by-section summary of every change, plus an implementation action list identifying the product, billing, consent, retention, tax, and publication items to confirm before publishing. When I came back with detailed follow-up questions after verifying his items against my actual codebase, he confirmed they were within scope at no additional charge and revised the documents twice. In two places he adjusted the contract to match my defensible implementation rather than forcing me into expensive rework, and on a genuinely difficult edge case he proposed a cleaner solution than either option I had framed for him. He was also clear about the boundaries of the engagement — what needed a tax adviser, an insurance broker, or specialist review — rather than overreaching into areas he wasn't opining on. Responsive, precise, and commercially sensible. I'd hire him again without hesitation."
"Excellent, high-quality corporate counsel. Scott demonstrated exceptional legal craftsmanship and structural agility in tailoring a complex cross-border manufacturing NDA. He perfectly integrated our strict pre-launch anonymity protocols, specialized ODM/semi-custom IP bifurcation, and localized enforcement venue parameters with absolute precision. Highly responsive, professional, and thoroughly recommended for international technology and commercial transactions."

"Scott did an amazing job assessing the risks my business might face in developing our new Roundtable Marketing tool, and helped us produce a comprehensive Participant Release form to protect us from those risks. He was thoughtful, proactive, and expansive in his approach to protecting our interests, and he developed our materials promptly so we could proceed with our program without delay."
