Scott A. Kane

Scott Kane serves as a trusted counselor to business leaders, boards of directors, in-house counsel, public officials and other clients. A skilled lawyer with extensive experience handling complex disputes, the strategic and business goals of Scott’s clients are always top of mind. Scott assists clients in developing strategies for avoiding or minimizing legal disputes whenever possible.

When disputes cannot be avoided, Scott employs a strategic approach to litigation to aggressively protect clients’ interests but also to achieve cost-effective resolutions that serve the business objectives of his clients. When necessary, this includes defending those interests at trial.

He has represented clients in courts and arbitration proceedings across the US in a variety of industries, including financial services, manufacturing, consumer products, technology, professional services, and design and construction. He also has significant experience representing both debtors and creditors in disputed matters in large Chapter 11 cases and other bankruptcy-related litigation.
