Robert J. Scott , Member of Scott & Scott, LLP

 

Managing Partner of Scott & Scott LLP, Robert’s practice is focused on software, security & privacy, intellectual property, licensing transactions, and litigation.  

An innovative approach to legal services, Robert built Scott & Scott around the premise that collaboration between legal and technology professionals is necessary to solve complex problems involving IT compliance. By combining these resources, Scott & Scott is better able to serve clients' needs than law firms and technology services firms working independently of one another.

Robert is an active member of the State Bar of Texas. He is admitted to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, the United States District Court in the Northern and Eastern Districts of Texas, and the District of Colorado. He is a member of the Information Systems Audit and Control Association, the Managed Services Providers Alliance, the IT Compliance Institute, and the Metropolitan Technology Council.
