A formidable advocate in complex business disputes

Our company faced a serious threat when a former executive violated a non-compete and misappropriated trade secrets. Scott Knapp's quarter-century of experience in business litigation was immediately evident. He guided us through the complex commercial litigation with a steady hand, demonstrating the deep expertise that has rightly earned him recognition in the field. His strategic approach was both meticulous and pragmatic, leading to a highly favorable settlement that protected our core intellectual property. Scott is not just a brilliant legal mind; he is a trusted advisor who genuinely cares about his client's success. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
