Scott Funk is a trial lawyer first, but he is also a business advisor and problem-solver who understands the outcome of high-stakes commercial litigation can jeopardize a client’s entire business. He has more than three decades of experience focused on helping plaintiffs and defendants successfully resolve all types of complex, intellectually challenging business disputes through creative resolution, and if necessary, through a hard-hitting litigation approach. Although Scott handles all business-related litigation, his practice most often includes cases involving contract and partnership disputes, real estate, fiduciary duties, trade secret theft, non-compete enforcement and ad valorem tax appeals for sophisticated, high-value properties.

Scott’s clients include companies, executives and entrepreneurs across virtually every industry, from healthcare, real estate and energy to manufacturing and distribution. What Scott enjoys most about his practice is the opportunity to resolve the wide variety of complex issues that clients may face throughout the life cycle of their businesses. Whether he’s managing a national litigation docket for a publicly-traded real estate investment trust or helping a departing executive navigate fiduciary issues while starting a new venture, Scott’s approach is always the same – determine the client’s ideal outcome and find the most effective, cost-efficient path to take them there.
