Scott works closely with the firm’s in house statisticians, computer programmers and data analysts to investigate and defend employers in class/collective actions, EEOC investigations and OFCCP audits. This team uses cutting edge techniques to evaluate large data sets from employers’ compensation system, time clocks, payroll, HRIS, and other databases to evaluate risks and liabilities from wage & hour complaints, EEOC systemic discrimination investigations, OFCCP audits, and claims under the Equal Pay Act.

Scott is a senior attorney in Jackson Lewis’ Affirmative Action and OFCCP Defense Practice Group. Scott helps employers prepare highly customized and strategic affirmative action plans. As an attorney, Scott uses his knowledge of OFCCP’s regulations to help employers navigate and meet federal contractor obligations.

He spends much of his time overseeing proactive pay equity analyses and assisting employers in identifying and addressing “pay gaps.“ Through a combination of data expertise and over a decade of experience providing legal counsel on labor and employment issues strictly to employers, Scott helps companies find and eliminate “hidden” issues in their pay systems. In these projects, Scott works closely with legal, HR and compensation personnel, as well as Jackson Lewis statisticians, to design meaningful analyses under the attorney-client privilege.
