Rob is one of the rare few that successfully operates where the technology industry, business and entrepreneurship, and the law meet, making him an excellent resource for any company working at this unique intersection. As important, he wastes no time or words identifying the root cause of an issue and providing guidance that, without asking, takes the perspective of business, technology, and the law into account before ever being offered.

The Scott and Scott team were fantastic to work with. We wanted to revise our Agreements and streamline our contracting processes. Rob and his team were able to look over our current agreements, incorporate things that we felt were important in re writing the new documents. As well as add coverages for things that their years of expertise in this field have taught them that we overwise would not have thought of. I highly recommend. Thank you

Scott and Scott LLP was terrific in representing our interests in a complicated and time-consuming software audit. They have a wealth of experience with IT and software related issues, are responsive, and are strategic. Scott and Scott skillfully guided our company through every step of the process, including strategy, negotiation and a very favorable resolution. We can't recommend Scott and Scott more highly. If you are facing a software audit or something similar, hire them!

We recently reached out to Scott and Scott to help us get our MSP Contracts into order. They were extremely thorough and easy to work with. They were able to provide us with several very detailed contract documents that we were able to turn around and use to sign multi-year contracts. They answered all of our questions we had as well as handled all revisions we asked for. I will definitely call on them again as the need arises.

Stephen help us through the whole process and choosing the right coverage for the products that we sell and service, furthermore it aligned itself with our insurance coverage to have a double protection.
