Scott started Salsbury & Salsbury, LPA with his partner, Sue Ellen Salsbury, in 2007 after being in private practice for 17 years. Both previously were partners at a large full service law firm based in Akron, Ohio.  Scott's principal goals for the firm have always been, first, to continue to provide "big firm" service but at a small firm price;  and second, to consistently provide practical advice achieving effective results.

Scott represents management in labor and employment law, healthcare law, and litigation. His labor practice includes collective bargaining negotiations, the defense of unfair labor practice charges, and grievance arbitrations. He represents and defends employers in hearings before the National Labor Relations Board.

Scott's employment practice involves representing employers before the U.S. Equal Employment Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor and the Ohio Civil Rights Commission. He advises clients on a host of  employment issues ranging from Wage and Hour, Pregnancy and Disability Discrimination, Medical Leave to Whistleblower Retaliation.

Scott's professional experience representing healthcare clients has involved a wide range of issues that include medical staff credentialing, peer review, resident discipline and HIPAA privacy regulations.

Scott has litigated in state and federal trial and appellate courts throughout Ohio. He has tried to jury verdict cases involving areas of law ranging from defamation, tortuous interference with business relations, commercial paper, discrimination to retaliation. Scott has also tried bench trials and injunction actions involving issues that have included construction disputes, commercial real estate covenants, workers compensation retaliation, and non-compete agreements.
