Transactional counsel informed by client-side experience
Scott is in his element when working on a complex, time-sensitive transaction. Clients rely on his years of experience to drive their important deals from initial negotiations through to a successful closing. Having previously served as chief legal officer of Ark Investment Partners, an international, institutionally capitalized real estate fund and property management company, Scott views each matter from a client's perspective. He also has past lender-side experience.
"Scott Vetri . . . has always been great to work with. He is not one of these attorneys who hits the buzzer when you say hello, but he will answer questions whether it relates to a specific transaction or not. It has always been a pleasure dealing with him."
