Ward E. Scott II, Esquire founded this comprehensive international commercial legal practice in Afghanistan in 2011, based upon the readily apparent need for an international commercial law firm to bridge the gap between Western law firms and in-house counsel and the realities of doing business on the ground in Afghanistan, one of the world’s most challenging markets.
The firm has expanded to the Pacific and Eastern Europe and is handling client matters related to defense and diplomatic missions in those ares of operation.
