Scott’s early experience in export controls was honed at DoD in the context of CFIUS cases. He currently advises companies across all types of export control matters (including jurisdiction and classification determinations and regulatory filings) and companies facing increased sanctions risks across their global business operations. He also advises on CFIUS matters.

As DoD Mitigation Compliance Counsel, Scott interacted with the staff and attorneys of the Departments of the Treasury, Justice, Energy and Homeland Security and other CFIUS Committee members on a regular basis as he addressed CFIUS compliance and agreement negotiation matters and concerns. As an Air Force JAG, Scott handled multiple assignments in criminal trial and appellate litigation, and provided legal counsel on procurement, international law, military operations law and ethics law as part of a worldwide practice. His military career included tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, Liberia, Guantanamo Bay, Germany and Belgium, providing him with an international viewpoint and the ability to discern the global ramifications of diverse legal matters. During his last year on active duty, Scott was detailed to the Department of Justice Criminal Division, Fraud Section, where he assisted prosecutors in the FCPA, Securities Fraud&nbsp;and Health Care Fraud Units on a wide range of criminal prosecutions.

Scott holds an LL.M. in National Security Law from Georgetown University Law Center, and expects to obtain an LL.M. in Government Procurement Law from George Washington University Law School in 2024.
