Welcome! I’m Scott K. Vastine, and I’m here to provide you with expert legal counsel rooted in years of extensive experience. My journey in the legal field has been marked by a passion for helping businesses navigate their legal challenges and achieve success.
Professional Background
I previously served as the General Counsel for a real estate investment firm with a portfolio exceeding $300 million. In this role, I oversaw all legal aspects of the company’s operations, including acquisitions, compliance, and litigation. Being part of the executive team, I played a crucial role in deal analysis, deal flow generation, and investment committee reviews, contributing to the company’s growth and diversification.
Prior to that, I spent 15 years at The Jackson Law Firm, a boutique commercial litigation firm in Houston, Texas. As an attorney and shareholder, I managed a diverse litigation docket, handling every stage of the business dispute life cycle, from pre-litigation negotiation and litigation avoidance to trial and appeal. My experience includes securing significant legal victories, such as a $2 million jury verdict against Wells Fargo and numerous favorable settlements and judgments.
Education
I earned my Juris Doctorate from South Texas College of Law in Houston, where I developed a strong foundation in legal principles and practices. Prior to that, I completed my undergraduate studies at Louisiana State University, earning a B.A. in Mass Communications with a concentration in Political Communications and minors in History and Political Science.
