Scott Eisman leverages his deep government experience to advise on complex commercial litigation, appeals, and high-stakes investigations for financial institutions and major corporations.

In private practice, Scott has delivered results in high-profile disputes and investigations for market-leading clients. At a prominent global law firm, he defended Google against antitrust claims related to advertising technology and in a commercial litigation involving a cryptocurrency scheme. He also represented the largest African telecommunications company in an Anti-Terrorism Act litigation, contributed to resolving criminal and regulatory investigations into Volkswagen’s diesel emissions controversy, and successfully dismissed securities lawsuits on behalf of clients 3M, Morgan Stanley, and Credit Suisse. Scott has authored many amicus curiae briefs in trial and appellate courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. As an Assistant Solicitor General in the New York State Office of the Attorney General, Scott argued nearly 20 appeals and dispositive motions and authored dozens of briefs, including one for the U.S. Supreme Court that won the National Association of Attorneys General’s 2019 Supreme Court Best Brief Award.

A graduate of Columbia Law School, Scott was a Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar and managing editor of the Columbia Law Review. He began his career clerking for the Honorable Louis L.
